She showed her love for her family by providing for them the things they needed, taking pride in her cooking, baking, canning and home-making abilities.

She was a hard working woman who appreciated the simple things in life, and was never afraid to get her hands dirty. She kept herself involved in the lives of her friends and family, never missing an opportunity to be a part of things. She never knew a stranger and was extremely generous, always putting great effort towards helping those in need. She was a dedicated member of her religion, had strong faith in her God and shared her beliefs with others often. When she was younger she was very active in door to door ministry. She was loved deeply by her family and friends.
