Our beautiful mom will be missed by many people. She was a kind and generous soul, always giving more than she took and forever putting others first. She was an avid knitter and passed out mittens and socks to many members of the community.
She loved to quilt - we all have at least one, beautiful one-of-a-kind quilt, painstakingly stitched with loved. She also loved to crochet and generously gifted many of us with beautiful doilies and table cloths.
Mom was an active member of the Tracy Mills Women's Institute for decades. She enjoyed her friendships made within the ladies group. Mom's furry little companion, Bo will miss her so much. She doted on him like she did to all of us, with kindness and lots of love. We love you, Mom, we'll miss you Mimi and our hearts will forever be empty without you.
