She was born on a cold winter day in January at Route 2, Henagar, AL and passed away at her residence, where she lived with her daughter Charlotte, directly across the road from her birthplace home. They weighed her a month later and she weighed 3 lbs. This tiny baby was never still and never quiet. We loved this little woman dearly. She will be greatly missed by all.
She gathered several children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren along the way through her life. She called all of them hers. You could say they were flowers from different gardens and she loved them all.
