    A best friend to all who knew her, a caring one, yes very talented! A seamstress, cook and had a beautiful voice, loved to sing (country western) played the guitar and the piano. At one time was learning the violin (in Ohio). A wonderful sense of fun & humor. Her son & grandson’s, their accomplishments, especially their abilities with music, meant the most to her! She was much saddened that her long ill health prevented her from seeing an being with them more. We all loved her.

    Mom was such a unique individual with a different outlook on life than most. She loved her music and would crank the hi-fi so she could hear the bass rattle the windows. I would hear her sing and it always seemed to be different than whatever the main part was, years later I figured out she was singing the harmony. When she was in the nursing home she wanted to learn bass and since that’s what I play currently I bought her a bass and we learned a couple things together. It was tough for her to see where to put her fingers and difficult to push down some of the large strings but she tried nonetheless. She always told me she was going to get some hot pink leather pants and play bass for Gene Watsons band. I told her to go for it! Love you mom and miss you always.
