Maw Maw's memorial graciously sponsored by: Love Always, Renee When you have time to stop by her contributor page, you will find the memorials that she manages. It would be kind of you to visit her memorials.
MawMaw was an excellent housekeeper in her younger years. She was quoted as saying that soap and water was too cheap to not be clean. She would get on her hands and knees and scrub the floors with a brush and wash clothes on a washboard.
She was also a great cook and never used a recipe, even when baking. One of her "best" was to cook round steak and gravy. That was what she enjoyed fixing when company was coming to dinner. She also fixed the "best" boiled peanuts. Cooked to perfection and salted with just the right amount.
They were not wealthy, but MawMaw had a way of stretching a dollar and feeding her large family. Nobody walked away from the table hungry.
At Christmas she would fill her apron with fruit and nuts and make sure each child had their share. It was a treat for everyone.
Back when they lived in Greensburg, they did not have a television, but MawMaw enjoyed her soap operas. She tuned into them daily on the radio. She enjoyed Our Gal Sunday, which was a rags to riches story. An orphan named Sunday, met, fell in love and married the rich and powerful Lord Henry Brinthrope. They had their share of troubles and women would try to steal him away. That show ran on the air from 1934-1959. She also listened faithfully to Ma Perkins and The Romance of Helen Trent.
Most of all MawMaw was a true Christian and loved singing the old gospel songs. Some of her favorites were The Old Rugged Cross, How Great Thou Art and Amazing Grace.
She will always be missed.
