She was everything you hope a person can be, strong, vibrant, and endlessly loving. She had this light about her that could fill any room, and she truly never met a stranger. Everyone who crossed her path felt her warmth.

She loved the simple, beautiful things, working in her garden, soaking up the sun by the pool, and spending time with the people she loved most. She was the best mom and the most incredible grandma, always putting others before herself with a kindness that came so naturally to her.

Her love, her laughter, and her spirit are woven into all of us. We carry her with us every single day.
