She was a lifelong member of Keith Full Gospel Church. She was a loving mother and grandmother who loved to garden and read her Bible. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends and all who knew her, especially her faithful and loving dog, Taco.

Also, we want to thank a very special lady who went above and beyond what we ever expected. Thank you Sallie Starky for all of your help; we couldn't have got through this without you.
Funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, May 30, at Keith Full Gospel Church, Keith, with Pastor June Ferrell officiating. Interment will follow in Pineview Cemetery, Orgas.
Visitation will be 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the church.
