She was an active member of West Side Baptist Church until her health declined. It was her honor to volunteer as a quilter for Chattahoochee Hospice for 10 years plus. She loved reading her bible, quilting and doing cross word puzzles. She was thrilled when her granddaughter Harper asked to learn to quilt and because of her own love for quilting, she was over joined to teach her.
The family would like to thank Valley Park Manor Assisting Living for the loving and care she received each and every day. She loved her nickname maw maw given to her by all staff members. We would also like to thank Kindred and Chattahoochee Hospice for their care and support given to her and the family. We thank Dr. Arvin Kamath, Dr. Bakshi Kamath and the staff for the love and support.
