She will be remembered for her love of serving others. She started cooking for others when she was a young girl. We earned Christmas money making candy boxes with 35+ varieties including homemade chocolate covered cherries. She fed her students and teachers well as a lunchroom manager. She continued catering for many years. As she entered her senior years, she fed fellow seniors and shut-ins to be sure they had a good home cooked meal weekly. She was a founding member of Charis Crafters and loved plying others with her homemade jams, jellies, rolls, and so much more! She loved her Lord and faithfully served him and others at Santuck Baptist Church.
Serving as pallbearers will be Regi Knight, Caleb Knight, Brian Mann, Scott Reaves, Steve Goodman, and Keith Ballard.
