Jackson Baptist Church where she was a member for many years, attending faithfully until she could no longer physically do so. Her greatest blessing was being a mother and grandmother. She loved her family, her neighbors, her yard full of flowers, and all the animals and pets that visited her porches frequently for fresh water and treats. Sitting on her porch swing in the sun was her favorite way to spend her free time. She enjoyed sewing, solving crossword puzzles, and cooking her famous mac and cheese and fresh green beans for Sunday dinner with her family, her hands were rarely still.
