Mama loved people, she never met a stranger. She didn't care who you were, she loved to socialize with others and she loved to talk, whether it was in the grocery store or doctor's office, it didn't matter she would find someone to talk to and make it a social event. She looked forward to going anywhere, it didn't matter where it was, she just like to go and have a fun time. Everyone loved her and she would do anything for her family.

The most special times in her life was when she was with her family, especially her grandsons who she loved to love on. She would love on anyone that she could. She loved spending time with her family, and visiting her friends and sharing whatever she had with others. She always loved buying shower gifts for new babies.

She loved her Lord Jesus Christ. She was an active and faithful member of Fairmont First Baptist Church since around 1965. She worked for Fairmont Knitting Mill for 19 years, Wesley Pines Retirement Home for 17 years. After that she was a private duty nurse for 5 years, serving two special families.
