She was a Co- Founder and continuing supporter of the Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Center. She loved gardening and always had vegetables and flowers that she provided her tender loving care and the power of her green thumb. She was an avid fan of Texas A&M sports teams and the Houston Astros and could always tell you when each team was playing and how they were doing. Her most important trait was her care and compassion for friends and family. She never missed an opportunity to visit a sick friend or family member on the phone or in person and take some food to be supportive. She did this until her very last days. Her life of unconditional love for others was the way she started each day. She was fortunate to have lived her life independently until February 9 ± . All of her grandchildren lovingly called her "Nana ". She was one of those beautiful, caring individuals who connected with every generation of friends and family. Her laughter and sense of humor are things we will always remember. She will always be loved and sorely missed by all of her family and friends. Her spirit will be with us always although her earthly journey has ended.
