sister-in-law, mother-in-law, cousin &friend to many. She had
worked
tirelessly for many organizations including Epworth Children Family
Services,
Kingdom House & the United Methodist Church. She was a charter
resident of
Friendship Village West for the past 28 years. Her last week was made
easier
under the care of Am-Heart Hospice. Her love was limitless, her laugh
infectious and her attitude optimistic. She took pleasure in small,
hugs from
grand-kids, visits from loved ones and rooting for her beloved
Cardinals. Each
moment spent with her was a blessing, a gift from God, and a time to
build
memories that will live in our hearts forever. We take comfort in
knowing she
is reunited with all those she loved who preceded her in death. We have
lost
the heart of our family but Heaven has received a very special gift. In
a
private service her ashes will be interred at Laurel Hill Memorial
Gardens.
