She was a hard-working mother and dedicated retiree of General Electric in Mattoon, IL. She enjoyed dining out with her husband Jim before his passing. Together they had two dogs who they treated as children and loved endlessly. She was a collector of beautiful jewelry and all things “fashion”. From the candies in her purse to her coffee table. Those memories will be cherished. Thanksgiving dinners were her favorite with her family gathered in her dining room. As her grandchildren grew, they competed for her spot of “noodle maker”. Nobody could ever live up to her recipe as she passed it on. She was of Baptist faith and read her bible often. In recent years she loved her great- grandchildren playing and teasing her by bedside. She referred to them as her angels and sweet babies. They will miss her dearly. She lived a long, beautiful life and will be fondly remembered.
