Mom was a fearless soul who was young at heart and very outgoing. She was a compassionate woman who loved people, art, all animals, nature and just being outdoors. She was courageous, intelligent and witty but known, especially for her selfless giving nature. She loved our Lord and Savior with all her heart and had a great relationship with him.
Mom had a personal visitation ministry at the Providence Retirement Nursing Home in New Albany. She was a member of Bethany Christian Church in Charlestown, Indiana and a member of the Bethany Ladies Group.
We look forward to being with her again, even though we grieve we know there is no more suffering and she is now at peace.
