Our early memories of mom are praying, studying the Bible, and reading all the books she could get her hands on about God. Books were a common place on the dining room table and throughout the house. The other thing that was commonplace about Mom was her dedication to her family. She was a very present mother, grandmother, granddaughter, daughter, daughter-in-law, niece and cousin. Mom always took care of her family by caring for those who had become ill, birth of new babies, family gatherings, graduations, birthday parties and everything in between. She truly loved and adored her family. On the evening of September 10, 2018, her heavenly father called her home. During her transition to heaven, she was surrounded by family and friends.
