She was a stay at home mom. Her passions were keeping a clean house, cooking, gardening, sewing, knitting, crocheting, anything she could do to keep her hands busy. She was always a caregiver, and a nurturing soul, she loved taking care of her children and grandchildren, visiting with family and friends. In her younger years her home was the hub of the neighborhood, where many cups of coffee and homemade biscuits were served. She always had an extra plate for anyone that stopped by, she never turned anyone away. She had more commonsense and wisdom than any one person should have. People would always ask for her advice before making a decision, and she would gladly give you her opinion. She was usually spot on, and to top it off she had a heart of gold. She was the matriarch of our family. Our hearts ache, the emptiness will forever be a reminder of the joy you brought to all of us, we can no longer just stop by for a hug, or call to hear about the day, or hear I love you... Our lives are forever changed.. Rest in peace Mama, until we meet again. Your loving family
