Everyone who knew MawMaw knew how much she loved traveling, reading and playing with her grandkids and great grandkids any chance she got. She explored destinations across the US and Canada, always sending postcards to share her trips. She also enjoyed spending hours in the pool with her grandkids each summer and always spoiling them by bringing coke floats as a hot summer day treat. MawMaw touched the lives of everyone she met and will always be remembered for her generous and outgoing spirit. MawMaw’s comforting words, “It will all be alright”, will echo in the hearts of those she touched. Her legacy of love will be cherished by her family and friends forever. We could not have asked for a better Wife, Mom, and MawMaw, and will miss her every day. MawMaw’s memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her.
