Momma enjoyed spending time with her Children, Grandchildren, and Great-Grandchildren. She especially looked forward to Sunday dinners with a house full of family. Momma loved to read her Bible, attend church services until her health declined, and listen to her favorite Gospel music stations. She always encouraged her Children and Grandchildren to pray for each other and to continue having family prayer.
