Those who knew her knew she could talk to anyone. She would talk about her love for her children. She would talk about how proud she was of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She would talk about her deep and unwavering faith in God. She would talk about her extreme joy in music. But those who knew her also knew she knew how to listen. Her greatest talent was the ability to make people feel loved and accepted.

She was a friend to many. She was a serious student of the Bible. She was a loving mother and grandmother. She had a heart for God, a passion for music and a love for the Astros.
