Interests, activities, hobbies, or passions: She lived a life rooted in faith, with God always first in her heart. Her relationship with the Lord guided the steps she took, and church was not just a place she attended, but a true way of life for her. She found joy in worship, strength in prayer, and purpose in serving God and others.

Family was deeply important to her, and she cherished every moment spent surrounded by those she loved. Being together brought her great happiness, whether through conversation, laughter, or simply sharing time in one another's presence.

One of her greatest joys was listening to gospel music. The songs of praise uplifted her spirit. Through music, worship, and fellowship, she expressed her love for God and her gratitude for His goodness.

Her life leaves a lasting testimony of faith, devotion, and love one that will continue to inspire all who knew her. Memorable moments and achievements: One thing about my mom is that we loved to sit back together, joke, and laugh about our family and all the moments we shared. Those times meant everything to her. She found so much joy in remembering where we came from, the funny stories, and the little things that only family could truly understand.

She had a way of turning memories into laughter and laughter into love. Even in simple moments, she reminded us not to take life too seriously and to always cherish one another. When we find ourselves laughing at those same memories, that's her living on through us reminding us that love, joy, and family were always what mattered most to her.
