Mom was kind and loving to everyone she met. She had many hobbies including cooking and baking for the ones she loved, entertaining herself with jigsaw puzzles and word searches, and reading classic novels. She put her family first and gave us a tremendous amount of love that we can hold on to forever. Even though she lived such a long life, it still didn’t seem long enough! She passed on the morning of June 10, 2023.
