I worked with Mattie at Rose Medical Center close to 25 years ago. We always kept in touch with Christmas cards thru the years. Mattie had a heart of gold! I will always remember how she helped this "rookie" supervisor. She was always there for advice. I will miss her!

I wanted to express my deepest condolences to her husband and children. She was my first supervisor she helped prepare many of us that worked at Rose as teenagers for what was to come. I will miss Mrs. Mattie so much. She was an awesome woman.

Either long or short conversation she would end with a smile and a little chuckle, so I would walk away with a smile too. Me and my family were touched by knowing her. She will be truly missed
