So big a fan that she and Kathy went to Tennessee for the big reunion of Southern Gospel Singers. They knew her by name and she knew them as well. She lived for her family they were her life. She was always there to help her children in whatever way needed. One of her favorite times was in July 2006 when ALL of her family met at Colorado City Lake and spent a weekend together.
