She was a simple, genuine, caring person that always thought of her family, friends, and neighbors first. She would always take the time to call or write a letter to tell her loved ones how much she cared and how proud she was of them. She had a unique ability to make everyone around her feel loved and feel special. There was never a person in need she did not help. There was never a person in pain she did not comfort. There was never a person down that she did not lift up. With her humor and gentle touch, she was a very special lady. Her family would like to thank the wonderful and caring staff of Rosewood Manor, Encompass Hospice her special friend; Mary Bennett, and her doctor, Mandi Bell, for making her last years pleasant and comfortable.
