Life in the country was kind of laid back, thank God she became a county girl, planting flower beds with beautiful flowers, herbs and perennials. Antique collecting became her passion, and she loved being called a "picker". She always had an attitude of faith in what she was doing, a ministry field before her. She was overcoming several health ailments in her last years and was looking forward to her 45-year class reunion from Shelbyville High School (class of 1980). She will be joyfully remembered by all who knew her.
An avid music lover, she was discovering new artists that were ministering to her spirit. She enjoyed cooking and received joy by feeding others less fortunate. Her words of faith and encouragement were her calling card. Jesus has received her, and her reward is Heaven everlasting, still enjoying her God given passions.
