She owned and operated her own house cleaning business and enjoyed crocheting, shopping, getting her nails done, reading and making the best pound cakes you ever tasted! Most of all, though, she loved spending time with her family, especially watching her grandchildren play sports. She was a wonderful, loving spirit to all and she will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

These include her nieces and nephews: Nicole, Michelle, Rachel (husband Tony) Worthy, Stacy (Markese) McClinton, Scottie Schuster and Shelby Schuster; and grand nephews and grand nieces: Jalen, Jordan, Colby, Macie and Bailey. She is further survived by her church family at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church as well as numerous other family and friends.
