Dad and Mom were Pope County Farm Family of the year for 1987. Together they worked hard and lived a good life raising cattle, chickens and children.

She was a member of Oak Grove Free Will Baptist Church where she especially enjoyed the wonderful singing.

The funeral service will be at 2 p.m. on Monday, November 26, 2012, at the Oak Grove Free Will Baptist Church, officiated by the Rev. James Chronister and Mr. Jack George. Burial will be in Mount Zion Cemetery near Jerusalem, by Shinn Funeral Service of Russellville.
