Mom loved the Lord Jesus and reading her Bible! Her faith never wavered as she encouraged us to draw closer to Jesus! Even in times of deep challenges, she always had the assurance that she can turn back to her rock Christ Jesus! She was always concerned about how we were doing in our Christian walk. Ready to admonish when she saw wrong doing. She never wavered in her faith. Praying for her grandchildren was top priority. She loved going to yard sales and finding sweet things for them. Mom was a kind, generous lady, always giving and serving people in her home. She loved to garden, cook, bake and sew. Her legacy will live on in everyone that loved her.
