Granny is most remembered for her loving kindness to everyone. She always seemed the happiest when she was doing something for someone else, especially if it involved cooking someone's favorite dish. Sick people and shut-ins had their spirits lifted when Granny Wells came to visit with a tasty cake or pie. She was best known for her sourdough bread that was so good you didn't have to put butter on it.
She helped raise Craig and Michele and then Joseph. Pierce and Holland got special treatment when they visited from Florida. Her nieces and nephews made special trips just to see Aunt Erma.
Most importantly, Granny was a Christian. That was the foundation for her life. She was regular in attendance at church and Sunday school unless illness prevented her from going. Her living Christian example led to Yvonne, then Michele, then together David and Craig becoming Christians. Her family rejoices knowing she is in heaven. The angels are probably rejoicing also because they know a new cook has arrived to prepare their celestial food.
