She was a loving person and a devoted mother. She was a great source of advice and knowledge to her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and the many people in her life. She will always be remembered as a person who always had a kind word for everyone.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her loving husband, Eddis.
