Family comments: The family extends its gratitude to Saline Memorial Hospice for its tender, professional care-giving skills and excellent, unprecedented medical services. She enjoyed cooking, quilting, sewing, embroidery and various handcrafts. She was well-known in her community for delicious pies, cakes and delectable breads. She was active with neighborhood Bible studies and the women’s Bible class at Holland Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. She could always be counted on to provide Sunday “taxi” service to church for all her friends at Whispering Pines Housing Addition.
