Her children rise up and call her blessed, Our loving wife, mother, grandmother passed away Monday, August 4, 2014 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was the consummate people person who never met a stranger. She so dearly loved her years working at the courthouse with Judge Mike Erwin and all of lifelong friends she met while there.
