Such a beautiful person will be missed by all who knew her. The things she treasured the most were her grandchildren from both sides of our family. She loved to go square dancing, traveling, cross-stitching for others, helping the elderly and this past year enjoyed a new hobby, making bows and gift boxes for any occasion.
