She had a very large heart and a servants spirit and was always trying to help others and be a voice for those without one. That tender heart and spirit drew her to becoming a nurse, a vocation she was very proud of and one she thoroughly enjoyed, it was what she always wanted to do,be able to help those who needed it most.She was very passionate about her family, being a nurse, health and wellness, and her faith. Even after she was no longer working as a nurse and became a homemaker, her hands were still always busy, and she was always learning and helping.She avidly studied nutrition and natural health and was always offering information about how to get well and improve your well being. She was very proud of her family,always sharing stories about her husband,her son, and her grandson, and always checking in on her siblings and extended family to make sure they were allright and just to talk and catch up.She was very devout in her faith from a young age, and she never faltered,even until she drew her last breath. Her faith was a major part of her life and even when her battle with cancer became more difficult, she never wavered and she didn't fear death.She always said "when it's time for me to go home,the father will come take me home.I may be gone from this world but I'll live forever with him".
