She enjoyed reading, gardening,
working in her flower gardens, and feeding and watching the birds

She was a wonderful and caring
mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great grandmother who was
always there to listen to us and help us in anyway she could. Her
love deepened even more for her grandchildren and great

by her family and all those who have been touched by her presence.
The love she shared and the great memories she gave us will be
forever in our hearts.
