She was the mother who was always there when you needed her the most, offering support, wisdom, and love. Love coming in the form of a switch on numerous occasions as Shelia, Jerry, and Barry know only to well. A friend to many, she was a cherished member of the community of Rogersville where she worked at Barnett Drugs. There she met many wonderful people who became friends for life, and also where she met her late husband Bill Wallace.
