She was Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and most everyone’s NuNu. As a devoted lifetime member of the Church of Christ she was loved and respected for her many gifts as a Christian. Her beautiful alto voice, her generous contributions in every way, including copious amounts of love, laughter and food at every gathering. She brought the same gifts with her everywhere she went. Nothing made her happier than coming together with family and friends. She was adventurous and loved hunting, fishing and camping. Her talents were numerous. She was an extremely accomplished artist and seamstress. She was a multiple business owner, investor and the ultimate philanthropist, always seeking to promote the welfare of others. She broke barriers. She was among the first women to become a rural carrier with the Post Office, and back in those days, her husband, with both humor and pride, loved to tell people he was married to the mailman! She moved up through the ranks from Carrier to Officer in Charge to Acting Postmaster before retiring after 25 years. But she was no where near retirement. She worked for a Tax Service as well as helping so many others with theirs, pro bono. She worked for several Senior Centers and no one could throw better parties or activities. She worked for the Funeral Home and so many praised her for going above and beyond for their families. To say that she was “One Of A Kind” is to speak the truth.
