Those that knew her LOVED her! She was one who told you like it was, and loved you unconditionally all the while. We couldn’t have asked for a better mom, grandma, or sister. In her eyes her children and grandchildren could never do wrong.
She will be missed but we know her legacy and love will live on in our hearts, and all who loved her.

She also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.
