She loved bringing people together and making sure every last detail was perfect. Later in life, she walked into Bedford's First Christian Church and was active in every way possible. Serving on committees, being a Deacon, visiting the homebound and of course, cooking up everyone's favorite sweet potato casserole for every dinner, whether it was Easter, Christmas or July 4th. She was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a momma, a mother in law and a gramma, as well as dearest friend to so many! She will be loved and missed forever, till we meet again.
