She spent her life serving others, and devoted herself to serving her family, her friends, her church, and her community! She never seemed to judge people, but treated everyone the same. She had a love for nature, and she created beauty all around her. Her home and her flower garden were always a place of peace and beauty. She loved animals, and cared for them all - cats, dogs, horses, deer, chickens, peacocks, and anything else that wandered onto her property! She had a wonderful faith in God and was never far from Him. Now she will be with Him forever!
