Missy was a selfless person with an infectious laugh, who loved animals and would do anything to help a friend in need. She was a true country girl, who loved spending time with friends and family. Her greatest accomplishment was devoting her life to raising her three children.

I have a lot good memories of Missy most of them were after she had her first baby Dustin she was a great mother to my brothers children and we always had a good relationship with her. Another memory we had when we met her in Jacksonville to see the children with my two sisters and mom a.k.a. Granny. But one of the sweetest memories I have is when she spent her income tax money to come to Homestead to meet their grandfather that they had never met before. She was a kind and loving person and I will never forget that about her :-) like adults to everyone. Love and prayers Maggie Seiter ❤

To Missy's Family and Friends,
We are very grateful for the years Missy gave us, worked along side of us, laughed with us, and brightened our days. We have missed her wit, laughter, beautiful smile, joyful demeanor, etc., since the day she first became sick. We were so hopeful and prayerful that she would make it through, and all of us that worked with her and knew her, remain saddened and a little lost with her passing. Although it will never be the same without her, she will always be part of the Ascension family. Our memories of Missy will remain with us...she will never be forgotten.
Please let us know if we can help. You have our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. God Bless and God Speed.
Fly High Missy! You've earned those wings!
Deepest sympathies,
Keri Bonner
