She enjoyed living on her farm and helped to support her nephews and nieces livestock shows and their activities. She enjoyed reading and was always sending cards to family and friends. She never missed a birthday card. The holidays were a special time and gave her an opportunity to make her homemade bows to put on the best wrapped presents anyone could receive. She had a knack for taking simple items and making fancy decorations out of them. She took great pride in her yard and flowers on her farm.
A private graveside service will be held at White Chapel Memory Gardens in Canton.
Oaks-Hines Funeral Home and Crematory in Canton has been entrusted with services.
Memorials may be made to the Fulton County Farm Bureau Foundation Scholarship Fund.
