She will always be remembered for her thoughtful ways, kindness to others, wonderful cooking, and her beautiful southern dignity. She was always there when needed. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. She was a generous, selfless individual who touched everyone fortunate to know her. She taught all of us the importance of faith and family and her legacy of love will live on forever.
