A loving mother and homemaker, she was an excellent cook who enjoyed preparing meals for her family. She was a very independent and spirited person and loved going to garage sales and flea markets. Over the years she collected Fenton Glassware and Thomas Kinkade, as well as many other items.

The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. David Moulton, Dr. Collier Jordan, Stacy with Caris Hospice and the staff of NHC Healthcare of Johnson City for their wonderful care.
Per her wishes, there will be no funeral services and she will be laid to rest in a graveside service, 12, noon, Friday, December 28, 2012 at Sulpur Springs Cemetery with Rev. Scott Marshall officiating. Music will be provided by Dennis Garber.
