She earned her nursing degree through S.C.T.I. and worked in several nursing homes & as a private duty nurse. She enriched the lives of her patients for over 30 years. She attended Calvary Assembly of God when they were renting floor space in the gymnasium of the Y.M.C.A. Her family grew up in that church & watched it grow into what is now Church of Hope. It was her home & she always made it top priority to be there for fellowship & worship every week she was able. Her heart for patients & Friends & love for God, family & this community has always been a beacon of hope, humility & humanity. She demonstrated the epitome of a Christian woman, mother, care giver, grandmother & great grandmother. Her memory will live on eternally in fondness & honor in our hearts as she is now home with her Jesus, husband, Don (of 38 years)& son, James. Heaven gained an angel for its’ choir & a cook for its’ kitchen. Her peace, love & happiness blessed & inspired us all.
