Grandma attended Allison school near Fisher, IL and was a member of Dewey Community Church. She loves being a wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a good cook as well as a seamstress. Other hobbies included knitting, crocheting, candle making, scrap booking, and working in her yard. He and his wife’s hobby is Southern Gospel Music. They traveled to many concerts as far away as North Carolina to hear their favorite bands. You can hear Southern Gospel music playing almost any day if you go to their house, and he sings along with it. This music about God’s love and heaven brought him great joy for many years.
The family would like to thank all the staff at Gibson Hospital Annex for their loving care of Grandma during her stay there – you are truly a blessing.
