She worked as a baker and cook for many years before becoming a homemaker. She could bake the best candy, cake and pie and wow the gravy and biscuits. For the past few years she spent her time at the senior citizens center, delivering meals to the elderly. She loved her grand and great-grandkids so very much, spending time with them and teaching them. She brought great joy to all and will be remembered for her hospitality and kindness.
