Our loving mother passed over to our heavenly father, peacefully in the comfort of her home on Wednesday, July 25, 2018 at the age of 88. She had a very big heart and it was always open to anyone she knew. Her love for all her children showed in everything that she did. Mom was a wonderful cook, everyone who knew her were overjoyed when she would make her special dishes. She loved taking care of anyone that graced her home and she was never selfish to feed even a stranger. Always crocheting and making tons of afghans and blankets for her children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren. Mom really loved her garden, she would spend hours outside with her flowers.
