As her daughter recalled, “She was everyone’s Mom!” She opened her home up to all her children’s friends and would allow them to stay as long as they wanted to, as long as they called their folks to let them know they were safe and where they were.

More recently, she stayed active volunteering at the Mooresville Christian Academy and the Desert Rose Shelter in Martinsville. She will be missed by a loving family and many friends.
