Oh my how I love this lady! I took care of her for a while at Cowden Cottage as I am a nurse. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. I know she will be missed but I'm so glad she is home now and whole.

She certainly was a remarkable woman. She was so sassy; always with a twinkle in her eye. The type of person every woman could hope to grow up to be. She will be truly missed. Sending love and prayers from Washington State. Sorry I could not be there to celebrate her life! Love, Wilma (This is the photo of her is at Camp Ruby in June 2002.)

There are too many good memories to narrow it down. Enjoyed growing up on Hyde Park and then visiting later on as an adult. She was one of a kind and a great influence. My thoughts and prayers for her and all of the family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
