She loved to have holiday parties of any kind! Family and friends looked forward to her Halloween and Christmas get-togethers each year. She graduated from Greensboro High School and attended college in Livingston, AL. She taught pre-school (4-year-olds) for 27 years and was an active member of Kingwood United Methodist Church for over 30 years. She brought a smile to the faces of everyone she met.
