unrelenting always teaching us the answer to our problems in life was prayer.
Thank you mom for teaching us how to follow you on the new Heavenly journey you
have now begun! She was a member of the Church of God of Prophecy for over 60
years. She loved the Lord and people and people loved her. Mom loved her family
very much and showed it by all the wonderful dinners she would cook with her
warm hospitality. Through the years she was always there, standing alongside
us, no matter what.
Since very young childhood mom loved to fish
.
She
has traveled to many wonderful places to just fish. She loved mostly going to
Elk Meadows near Stanley, Idaho to catch Brook Trout that were there by the
creel full. Along with the fishing she and her family enjoyed the camping trips
with many close friends and family members. Mom liked to travel and was always
ready to go. In fact she would boast her middle name was "Go". She
never refused to go anyplace but she especially liked doing it in her motor
home.
Mom was a professional seamstress and has sewn for numerous
notable clients over her successful career. She dearly loved sewing machines
and even knew how to repair most of them as many will att
