She loved to spend time with her grand and great grandkids as they always brought a smile to her face. Another passion of hers was watching her teams, the Bulls, Bears and Cubs. She always watched them on tv and even got to go with son-in-law and grandkids to a Bulls game live. She was a long time member of the Orchard Drive Baptist Church. She was a caring, loving and beautiful person, great mom and grandma and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
