Mama Curt, as we knew her was one of the kindest and sweetest woman that I've ever known. We got to know her well when she came to live with her daughter Gail, nearly three years ago. Mama Curt always made me smile and she loved to talk about her family and especially her great granddaughter Sophia. Visiting Mama Curt was a treat. She had such a witty & kind spirit and everyone that ever met her loved being in her presence. She loved watching Auburn football and she could tell you about every player. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family who has lost someone so dear. Please know how much we loved her and will never forget her loving, sweet spirit. Tanya & Doog

Mrs. Wanda was the first boss I had at Ft. McClellan. At that time I was fresh out of high school and I will remember always how she gave me that opportunity.
