Mrs. Wozar was a lovely woman, kind, generous, and very tuned in to her surroundings. I was fortunate enough to be her caregiver for 3 years when the family needed me. She and I would laugh often and I would tell her little jokes while combing her hair. When she felt like it, I would set her up outside on the back patio where she could read and enjoy her beautiful flowers and the hummingbirds that would drink from the feeders she had for them. Often times, she was so relaxed out there that she just drifted off to sleep. I will remember the good times and remember that I was there for a reason. Mrs. Wozar reminded me of my mother in many ways and the similarities were striking.
My prayers go out to her family and her daughters Dottie and Bev. She is with her sweetheart now and wanted it that way for her 93rd birthday in heaven.
Blessings-
