Apologizing neither for her beloved savior nor her country, her legacy of godliness, patriotism and just being the sweetest Mom, Grandma, GG, wife, and friend will always be cherished!
With her contagious smile and super-positive mindset, her love of laughter often continued throughout the conversation “Laugh-talking”. Everything she was, even right down to her fun socks was a celebration of life!
