Our grandma was a gracious, gentle and soft spoken woman who only expressed herself when she felt it was needed, and she never raised her voice. She taught us through her examples of unwavering love, her willingness to work hard in support of her home and family, and was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother.


Grandmas hands were always well manicured and soft to the touch, and something she took great pride in. With those hands she cooked the most amazing meals, and stitched beautiful pictures, which graced the walls of her home and were passed down to many of us. She kept her hands busy with sewing, crocheting, her love of read and putting puzzles together. Grandma was a hard working woman though you couldnt tell it through the softness of her hands.


Grandmas soft twinkling puppy eyes, and mischievous grin always welcomed each and every one. We are very honored to have been her grandchildren, and have been richly blessed by the love she shared with us. (written by her grandchildren)
