As our mom she was the heart of our family – our strength, that kept us all together no matter what life brought. She fought fiercely for the people she loved, always putting her family first with a strength that never wavered.
She endured more loss than most, yet she was an overcomer in every sense of the word. Through it all, she carried a smile and a quick wit that could lift your spirit and bring comfort when it was needed most.
Her resilience, her love, and her spirit are the legacy she leaves behind to her loved ones. She will be deeply missed and FOREVER in our hearts.
