Our mother touched so many lives with her love, wisdom, compassion, and encouragement. Our mother worked as an elementary school cook and managed a small staff, all of whom were dedicated and kind in heart. Through this job, our mother touched countless lives of the children she and her staff fed. We know many want to be here in person to say goodbye, and if you’d like to send a donation, it will be used toward her service and celebration of life. We could all use the encouragement she gave so selflessly, so just know that if you need some of her kind words, seek her in the rays of sunshine she so loved.
