Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend passed away surrounded by love, after a courageous battle with cancer. Through every chapter of her life, especially the most difficult, she remained a source of light, strength, and joy to everyone around her.
She was deeply devoted to her family and took immense pride in her grandchildren, who were the joy of her life. Nothing made her happier than being together; laughing, sharing stories, and capturing moments through photos she cherished as a way of holding memories close. She had a gift for making ordinary moments feel special simply by being present.
Known for her warmth and wisdom, she was the person everyone turned to for advice, comfort, and reassurance. She listened without judgment, loved without condition, and gave freely of her heart. Her friendships were deep and lasting, built on loyalty, kindness, and genuine care. Even while facing cancer with remarkable strength and grace, she continued to think of others first. Her bright spirit, infectious smile, and unwavering love will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know Her.
She leaves behind a legacy of love, family, friendship, and compassion. A reminder to cherish one another, hold onto memories, and live with kindness. She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.
We love you, Mom!

Thank you and God Bless You!
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the Kingdom, the power, and the glory are Yours,
now and forever.
Amen
