She was the one constant in our lives. The rock which never faltered. She was always there, always dependable and always sharing all that she had. It would make her sad when we had to leave after a visit. She would stand in the doorway and wave as we drove off. She would stand there till we drove out of sight. Always looking forward to the next visit. Because of her, we always knew we had a place called home. She was strong willed and strong minded. In a time when women were expected to be less, she was a women to be dealt with. In her latter days her eyes and hearing began to fail her. She began to have trouble reading her precious bible and conversations were sometimes very difficult. But her mind continued to be sharp right up till the end. She never gave up, never quit, never bent to the overwhelming forces of nature. She battled till her last breath. How do you some up 103 years, eight months and three days in a few words. All that can be said is, she gave us life, kept us safe and gave our lives meaning here on earth. Now she is a shining light in Heaven. Now she is with Lloyd, Larry and Pam. She is happy now. She will be missed beyond measure but will continue to be loved through time and all eternity. A grave side service to honor her life will be held at Pine Level Cemetery, Jay.
