She was a devoted mother & wife. She didn't have a mean bone in her body. She was the best Preachers Wife ever known.

She loved to garden, and "can" her harvest. She loved to sew, cook, crochet, go to church & serve God. She was a born again Christian and truly had a servant’s heart. She could fry chicken better than anyone else I know and her biscuits were PERFECT, not to mention her sweet tea and turkey dressing. She was the best person I have ever known on this earth. She is my sweet mama.
