Purney “Mother / Grandmother / Granny”, lived a spirited life and was always willing to give her opinion and let you know what she was thinking. That is why she lived such a wonderful life and we welcome you to come celebrate it with us on Tuesday. She continued to state she was 86 or 87 years old, so the date of birth was always a fun game for us as a family. Everything was fun and happy right up to the end and her passing was instant without pain and suffering. We wish her all the best in the afterlife, as we know she has them lined out and doing it right. We love you —
