I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memories from "Ma's" house. She was always so kind and welcoming - I always felt like she treated me as one of her own Grandchildren.

To the friends and family, I am very sorry to hear of Ma's passing. I worked for her son, T at the cement plant and have to say, he is a wonderful man who Ma must be very proud of. From the photographs and reading the obituary, Ma sounds like a wonderful person who dearly loves her family. A treasure of a woman.

Ma and sister Ruth lovingly place the Nativity as part of Harmony Bible Church's 2009 Hanging of the Greens service. Ma was always willing to help with church activities in any way she could, whether it be chopping down trees, playing softball, or teaching in Sunday School. I would also guess that she probably invited more people to church than any other. She would stop people in the grocery store to invite them to church.

Ma would move heaven and earth to attend a family event. Eben's baptism in the Fall of 2013 was no exception. At the left, you will see Eben giving Ma a hug. She crossed the rocks and the sand (using a walker) so that she would not miss this momentous occasion in Eben's life. This is one of the many reasons we all loved her.
