It’s hard to find the right words to say goodbye to someone as unforgettable as my mom. She wasn’t just a mother — she was a firecracker. Known for her razor-sharp wit, unapologetic sarcasm, and wild sense of humor, she lived life on her own terms from start to finish.

For most of her life, she worked behind the bar — not just as a job, but as a way of life. She was a lifelong bartender, the kind who knew everyone’s drink, everyone’s story, and didn’t put up with anyone’s nonsense. People came to her for a cold beer and left with a life lesson wrapped in sass and a smirk.

Though her path wasn’t always easy, she found her peace — and her true home — later in life when she moved to Galveston. That island gave her a sense of belonging and joy she hadn’t known before, and she embraced it with everything she had.

Now, as we face the heartbreaking task of saying goodbye, we’re asking for help to cover the costs of her cremation and a memorial that truly reflects her wild, beautiful spirit. Every dollar will go toward giving her the kind of farewell she deserves — full of laughter, love, and maybe a few inappropriate jokes.

If you can donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If not, please consider sharing this with others who knew and loved her. It would mean the world to us.
