"Our mom’s life was devoted to her family. The joy of her life was her husband and children. Her love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was her deepest treasure. Their presence made her day and it showed in her smile. She will forever be affectionately known as Nannie.
She shared her love and compassion not just with her family but with all the lives she touched.
Mamma, we know that you are smiling with Jesus whom you love so much. You will be sadly missed by all who love you."
