Our Mom, was the heart and center of family; she was the glue and loved her family immensely and intensely. She was married to her best friend and eternal love, Thomas F. Baldwin for 61 years. They worked together and succeeded in keeping their family close knit. A family that gathered for every occasion, special or not! Together they raised five biological children and numerous “extended” family members. Mom, was most proud of her children, Debbie, Douglas, Diana, David and Daniel who died at age 15. She was heartbroken to have outlived one of her children.
A gleaming crown of glory rich with jewels awaited her at Heaven’s gate when she arrived Sunday, February 4, 2018.
