greatest joy in life was raising her children.

Momma enjoyed dancing, going to yard sales, solving puzzles, and visiting Calvert
County. She loved the color canary yellow and carnations. She had a giving heart
as an angel on earth that shined through her smile and spirit. Mommas favorite
song was Gladys Night and the Pips, "The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me"
because she said that the song represented her life story. Momma's last request
was to take a family portrait to commemorate the five generations of her fami Iy.
