She was a military wife and homemaker for over 25 years, and then a business owner of local Blountstown businesses, the Teen Scene and the Bargain Corner. She resided in Tallahassee and attended Woodrun Baptist Church. She was a woman of faith who whole-heartedly loved her Lord and Savior, family and friends. She lived a life of love and service.
