Mom was a strong independent person who had a huge heart and worked hard all her life.

Mom was a loving and caring mother to her children and taught them to be respectful and hardworking.

Mom’s favorite past times included Bingo, Yahtzee, cooking, reading crossword puzzles, knitting, crocheting and crafts. Mom’s home was aways open to family and friends as was filled with conversation, lots of laughs and the pleasant aromas of something cooking.

We are all so blessed to have been a part of Mom’s life. Mom is now at peace and has gone to be with her eldest son Michael whom she loved and missed so much.
