I have so many great memories of Raynette. She was my mom´s very best friend from before I was born. I spent many summers on the farm with her and Grandma Lou. Her sense of humor was the best. We miss you

We shared a passion for AWANA, "Sparks for Jesus". Pinky lit up every room she walked into. Her quick wit, sense of humor and contagious laughter will be deeply missed.

Aunt Pinky... love you so very much. So many fond memories and very very funny memories! "hi my name´s Ted!" Your laughter, pranks, jokes, and joy will never be forgotten!

She cheated at cards, enjoyed a great craft and a gag gift. Her smile lit up a room and her joy was contagious. She was always up for a great adventure and loved to sing. She played the piano by ear, relished a new recipe, fast cars and beautiful birds. Above all she adored her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For Him she lived, with Him she lives forever; singing His glories in perfect pitch. We love you, Pinky!
