for everyone she came in contact with, she was in charge of church
and funeral dinners, she started the Christmas Food basket
distribution, the funds for those in need, and always made sure
Missions was supported every month, sending to Israel first…all for
nearly 40 years. She loved teaching at VBS, wrote songs the church
still sing today, and wrote poems for every special occasion… her
humor made it uplifting and her hugs were priceless.
