She enjoyed a good game of UNO with the family and when she knew she had UNO, she slammed the card on the table like she was playing dominoes!

When mom retired in 2014 from the Huntington Union Free School District as a Teacher's Aide, she and dad moved to Charlotte, NC. She was so happy to be near her kids and grandchildren. Finding a church home was very important to them. And after visiting many churches, they found peace, love and acceptance at The Connecting Place at Greater Salem. But in December 2018, her world forever changed when her husband of 53 years passed away. She had a great support system within the church community and would become good friends with Mother Eva Corbett. The two would travel together and meet up for breakfast or lunch. Mom was truly grateful for the genuine friendship, sisterhood and love from Mother Eva.

Mom was an amazing woman. She loved hard and laughed harder. She believed in autonomy and dignity and a person's right to choose the life they want. She was kind, generous and compassionate. Even when she spoke in anger, in her own way she would apologize and try to heal what was broken. She loved her entire family, despite their quirks or dysfunction. She worried about them, rooted for them, protected them, helped them, resented them, forgave them, and never stopped loving them, even during her illness when she didn't see her family and her phone stopped ringing. Most people would think it's the end of the world to feel abandoned by their family. But not her. She had very few visitors during her illness and hoped to see her immediate family. But when she realized the brokenness of her family was out of her hands, she gave it to God to repair. She knew at that moment that the visitations would only come when they heard she was transitioning. After that, she said that the visits weren't of God and she preferred not to see anyone else because by this time it was too late.

Mother, you are now free. No more physical, mental or emotional pain. And as someone wrote in their Facebook post, "I hope your soul is at rest…" And in answering this person, her soul is at rest. She forgave those who hurt her the most and died the way she lived; with class, grace, joy, peace, love, dignity and full of happiness.
