She was a charter member of Living Waters Baptist Church in Greensboro and loved her church family so much. 

She enjoyed cooking and was famous for her chicken and dumplings.  She also loved gardening and working puzzles.

She was a loving mother and friend; a beautiful Christian lady. She loved her family and thrived to see each one know her savior and friend, Jesus Christ (or know Jesus Christ as their personal savior).  She loved telling others about Jesus and touched many lives for the Lord.
