She was a member of First Baptist Church of Portland, TN, since 1937 and raised her family with Christian morals and values. Like most people of the “Greatest Generation”. honesty, integrity and hard work exemplified her life. Her church and family were most important in her life. But she also loved sewing, quilting, raising flowers, cooking and oil painting. She was a charter member of the West Portland Demonstration Club and was active throughout the clubs existence. Her home was a combination of work, worship, joy, good food, caring and mostly in any way she could show love. We all loved her dearly and our loss is Heaven’s gain.
