Her life was celebrated by her children and grandchildren in a small private service on January 12, 2023, at Spring Hill Memorial Park and she was laid to rest next to her loving husband. A memorial service may be held at a later date in Florida where they served so many years. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to a ministry of your choice.
