Mother was a member of Spring Valley Baptist Church and volunteered many years for the Spring Valley Volunteer Fire Department. She worked for Kay’s Shoe Store and Ledgewood Shoes for years, and retired from Plaxco Chiropractic. She was a talented seamstress and often made clothes for those in need. Her greatest joy was taking care of her family and she will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

We would like to express our love and appreciation to her many friends who helped care for her through the years, especially her loving daughter-in-law, Shannon, who loved and cared for her like her own mother.  A special thank you to Dr. Robert Bailey and to Mitchell-Hollingsworth for their loving and compassionate care.
