Having a Master of Education, she homeschooled her children for a total of 32 years. She was famous for her wonderful southern home cooking and peanut butter fudge at Christmas. Although she had many trials and tribulations, she never let them dim her will and spirit. She loved songs, including Amazing Grace, It Is Well With My Soul, and anything by Lauren Daigle or Selah.
