Besides her family, animals were her great passion. She has regaled most of us with memories of her childhood horses, dogs and other pets with such love and passion. Together, she and her husband ran a successful kennel and championed several Skye Terriers in AKC dog shows. Never limited to just one breed, she loved, raised, trained, rescued and cherished many purebred and mixed breed dogs who were her loving and faithful companions, even until her passing. That love, passion and care she showed us and her animals will be greatly missed.

The celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, February 19, 2022 at 11am at Gassett Funeral Home in Wetumpka, AL with graveside interment of her ashes at Pineview Memorial Gardens directly after service.

The family is accepting flowers for her service.
