Granny, as she was affectionately called, was a beautiful, loving person who adored her family. She was also a compassionate caregiver to her husband, Ken. Most importantly, she professed her faith long ago to Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She was an excellent example of loving others the way you want to be loved.
