Her legacy will be her loving spirit, which she lavished upon her family. Each generation will always remember her fondly for her generosity and kindness. She will be remembered for all the times that she opened her home and her arms to all of her children’s friends. Her life is a testament to what it meant to be a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. We will miss her, but will carry with us the memory of a wonderful and strong woman.

The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Pistorius and the staff of Town and Country Nursing Home for their loving care.
