Though her life was tragically cut short, we are thankful for the love, kindness, generosity and unwavering dedication to her family and community that we were able to experience for the last 78 years of her life. Her greatest joy was being a wife, mom, grandmother, sister and friend. Her unwavering commitment to her family and friends was felt by everyone who knew her. Her love was her legacy, and it will continue to live through her husband, children, grandchildren, sisters, friends and everyone she cared for so deeply.
