Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Her love, strength, and vivacious spirit were not only the glue of our family, but the heart of it.

She was a woman who deeply cared for everyone around her, always making sure those she loved were looked after and never without comfort. Her warmth, laughter, and lively attitude could light up any room, and her presence brought joy to all who knew her. Her memory will live on in every life she touched.

She carried herself with grace and resilience, always giving of herself and putting family first. Her strength was quiet, but it carried in generations.

She shared a deep and lasting love with her husband. A bond that was admired by all who witnessed it. Together they built a life centered on love, devotion, and family.

Her love for dance was like no other. There was nothing that suited her vibrant and joyful spirit more than swing dancing and two-stepping.

Her legacy lives on in the family she created and cherished, the lessons she taught, and the countless memories she leaves behind. Love like hers does not fade; it will remain with us always.

May she now be at peace reunited with her daughter, Chrystal.
