My deepest sympathy is shared with the family of this wonderful woman. Although we have never met , She leaves behind a wonderful family who is caring, sensitive, gentle and will carry on her memories. Peace and strength to all of you.
My Mother in law was an amazing woman that was truly the glue of this family . She raised three caring and hard working adults that I admire and love . I find it such a breath of fresh air in the way she accepted me and my family as her own and loved in her wonderful way . The world has is a much darker and colder place without her in it . May the thoughts and memories of her warm everyone’s hearts .

Words to describe her:

Devoted
We feel that in Proverbs 31:10 and 31:25 that both are fitting for how she lived. She was devoted to Vern. She loved God and her church. She loved her heritage. She loved her family. Her actions were a model for us (daughters) to teach us to be true and strong. She lived well. We are truly sad at her departure.
