The children celebrate Mom’s gifts of homemaking and hospitality. She enjoyed people, entertaining and sewing, having taught 4-H sewing classes with the Smithville club and sewing for others.
She accepted Christ into her life and was a member of the Martins Mennonite Church where she enjoyed participating in the sewing group. She had formerly participated in the Georgetown Homemakers Club, and with Adin, in a Farm Bureau Council group. She was a fun, caring person who enjoyed times with family and friends.
