She had loving parents with whom she enjoyed a deep and close relationship. In 1948, she moved with her husband to Bessemer, AL and became a loving mother to her two children.

She was gentle, faithful and witty. Visitation will be Monday, April 13, from 12:30 - 2:00 PM at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church in Hueytown, AL.
