She lived of the Baptist Faith and was a faithful member of Tugglesville Baptist Church. She had a heart full of love for all of her family, but above all she had a love for the Lord Jesus Christ. She was a light to the world for Jesus and prayed always that her children would know him. A praying and loving mama is our fondest and most cherished memories. There are no words that could ever describe the love she had for us and the love we all have for her. Her laughter and her smile brought joy to all who knew her. We are all blessed beyond measure to have known her and our greatest honor was calling her Mom.
