After the birth of her grandchildren, she was known by all as Mimi. On March 3, 2015, her final blessing was the arrival of her great grandson, Gabriel Maxwell. Mimi also expressed her devotion to God through her missionary work in Israel and the Middle East. She had many loving friends in the Brevard County area that shared her passion of spreading God’s love and grace. They met often to pray and tend to those in need. She loved cooking for her family, gardening, especially tending to her orchids, and had a great love for her dog Pupster, adopted during one of her trips to Israel. Her experience with and love of Pupster inspired her to write and publish a book.
