A very independent woman, she carried herself with strength and grace throughout her life. She also enjoyed attending performances at Theatre Memphis, where she appreciated the arts. Above all, she cherished time spent with her grandchildren, faithfully supporting them at soccer games, dance recitals, and all their activities, creating lasting memories filled with love and pride.
