She was raised in Fonde and was so proud to be a "Coal Miners daughter". She always kept you smiling and laughing at the stories she would tell and the things she would do.
She was a beauty she won many beauty pageants. She loved her hair fixed, her nails polished, her make-up on, and pretty clothes. My Dad would always say "She's as pretty as the first day I met her"!

She loved music and had a beautiful voice. She sung in church ever since she was a little girl. She had played the piano & organ in many churches.
