The family would like to offer a heartfelt and special thank you to her caregivers, grandson, Russ, Pearl Terry, Patsy Strickland, Sandy Balentine, Cheri Broadfoot, and our dear cousin, Jennifer McFall; nurses, Lindsey and Jenny; bath ladies, Michelle and Lisa for the love and special care they gave to our mother.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Pleasant Hill Church or the charity of your choice.
