Mrs. Ticer attended Valley View House of Prayer Church until she could no longer physically go. She was never forgotten by Brother Larry and Mavis Burbank. They visited her faithfully through her many years at Glenwood Nursing Home and never left her side without prayer and words of encouragement.
Mrs. Ticer loved her family beyond belief, she always put them first, and would do whatever she could to make sure that everyone was safe and taken care of. She was well known in the community for always trying to help those in need.
Words cannot express the gratitude that her family has for Glenwood Nursing Home. The care that she received was incredible. Jo Ann, Debbie, Teresa, Kenny, and Christie will never know how much their care and love meant to her family. Many CNAs’ over the years are also included in this thank you.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Valley View House of Prayer, c/o Mr. Larry Burbank, 1101 County Road 60, Florence AL 35633.
