She was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt that would do anything for her family. She enjoyed being a homemaker and loved cake decorating. She spent time reading and putting puzzles together. She loved her dog, Truffles and her cat, Patches, along with all the neighborhood cats that spent time on the back porch.

She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
