Her years aboard the cruise ships fostered her love of travel and she had recently visited St. Maarten. She made a great number of friends here and remained close with her childhood friends up north. She truly loved them all and she was happiest spending time talking and socializing with every one of them Her occupation as a nurse stayed with into her retirement as she was always trying to take care of her friends and help them any way she could. She was known as "The most REAL person anyone knew", and offered her friends honest straight-forward advice. She was an awesome mother, and grandmother, and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with her daughter and grandson. Even though she is no longer with us, she leaves her family and friends with many wonderful and loving memories.   Memorial services will be held in her honor at 1:00 pm, Saturday, December 9, 2017 in the Broadus-Raines Chapel with Fr.
