The family would like to thank Hospice of Alabama and the Angels of Mercy for their loving care of Gran over her last years. Her family would also like to thank her Calvary Baptist Church family and her many friends for their faithfulness in visiting and sending cards of encouragement over her years of declining health. Thank you to every heart and hand for your physical and spiritual care.
Due to her passing during this unprecedented time in our world, there will only be a service for immediate family at graveside. The family’s desire is to have a memorial service at a later date when all her many friends and relatives may gather together. She will never truly leave us if she is not forgotten.
Please continue to keep her in your hearts by remembering her humor, tenacity, care through cooking and love of family and friends.
