Mum loved her days out with Kathy, Judy’s trips home and Gerald’s visits to play cards. She had a great sense of humour and loved to quilt. She was a homemaker who could prepare a feast out of a can of beans and always had baked goodies for her family. Going to church on Sunday was her heart’s desire.

A memorial service will be held 2:00 P.M., Wednesday 12 December in Springfield United Baptist Church, Rev. Robert Gates officiating. Burial will follow in the Springfield United Baptist Cemetery.
