The family would like to say a special thank you to: hospice nurses/caregivers Lindsey, Lori, Terry & Stephanie; all other nurses & staff on the 5th floor at NAMC; and all friends & neighbors. Our mom, who was affectionately known as “granny”, by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, was a lifelong member of Gray’s Chapel Church and served the church in many capacities. She personifies the virtuous woman of Proverb 31. That which was most important to her was her faith, which she instilled within us all, her family and her friends.
