The most special times in her life were when she was with her family, friends and church
family. She always showed love to anyone she could. She loved spending time with her family,
visiting with friends and going to church and spending time with her church family. She always
shared whatever she had with others and especially loved to cook and entertain at her home.
She loved her Lord Jesus Christ. She was an active and faithful member of Johnston
Pentecostal Holiness Church for approximately 45 years. She worked in numerous sewing
factories including Crest in Edgefield. She opened and ran an in-home baby-sitting service and
treated all the children like her grandchildren.
The immediate family would like to extend an extremely heart-felt thank you to all the staff at
Solaris Healthcare of Plant City, FL who loved her like their own family. Thank you for all the
care, love and support you gave to her and her family.
We are extremely grateful and blessed by everyone’s love, kindness, support and help during
this time, too numerous to list. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.
