She moved to Bangs at the age of twelve from Coleman county, and spent the majority of her life here in Brown county. She was a graduate of Bangs High School, Class of 1941. She spent her life as a homemaker taking care of her family and home. She loved to sew and even found time to “re-make” some of her clothes not long before her passing. Reading was a passion for her that she continued until shortly before her death. She spent many hours passing the time with a good book or the local news paper. She looked forward to visits from her family, especially her great-grandchildren.
She was a long time member of the Bangs church of Christ and loved to worship the Lord with her Christian family. Memorial contributions may be made to Bangs church of Christ Camp Fund, P.O. Box 41, Bangs, TX 76823.
