Growing up in Kentucky, mom graduated high school with honors while never missing a day of school. While mom was in school, she and her friend went for a ride in dad’s coal truck, from that day forward they became inseparable.
After mom graduated, they eloped with friends and her brother Clarence and went to Florida and married. Her brother Clarence and her were always together, where mom traveled, Clarence followed.

Mom worked at Metal Forming for over 30+ years, starting as a press operator and worked her way up to an inspector. Her co-workers became a part of our family and we became a part of theirs.
Mom loved visiting friends and she always enjoyed a good conversation. No matter who you were or your walk of life, she always patiently listened or would give a helping hand.
She found happiness being with her family, friends and working in the yard with her flowers. Mom said when she retired, she was looking forward to drinking her coffee, watching TV and staying up late.
