She loved to sing & play the piano. She sang solos as early as grade school & was the Church Choir Director. Even though she wasn’t able to graduate from high school, she got her GED and then helped others to do the same. She was a member of WIC (Women In Construction). She was a fervent believer in Christ traveling all over the USA & Europe with her husband for a book ministry. She and her husband had the privilege of meeting Mother Teresa. Mostly, her family was very important to her, and she loved them very much. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.speakschapel.com (Arrangements: Carson-Speaks Chapel 816-252-7900)
