She loved researching her family history and was one of our family's historians, keeping pictures and family stories alive. \r\n\r\nHer true passion was cooking and she loved to share her skills, her food and recipes with others. One of her favorite things to do was to enter her pickles, jams and jellies in the county fair and she had a large scrapbook of her ribbons to show how wonderful they were.\r\n\r\nA graveside memorial service will be held for the family at the Center Point Cemetery, at a date to be determined.\r\n\r\n
