She was born in Bridgeport, Texas and was a lifelong resident of Globe-Miami, Ariz. She was the co-owner of Tom’s Gila Music with her husband and created many friendships through the business. She was an active member of River of Life Church. She shared her faith with Sunday school students for many years and after she stopped teaching, she never stopped sharing that faith with everyone. She lived her Christian faith by being a devoted wife, loving mother, and exceptional grandmother. Not only was she Grandma to her own grandchildren, but also to all their friends she met throughout the years.
