It was while shopping for a purse at Butler’s Shoe Store that she met her husband of 62 years. They raised their two daughters together and her family meant the world to her. Their home was the place to be for Sunday dinners, birthdays, and holidays. She enjoyed cooking for her family and working in her yard. She was a long time member of Ridge Avenue Baptist Church. She was a praying Wife, Mother and Grandmother and she always let you know she was praying for you.
