Lots of good memories she leaves behind? A gift from god the long life she was given? Her dogs and fishing were just a couple of the many things she enjoyed besides us grandkids. Some of us sure gave things to talk about. Our prayers go out to the family.

Ila, my aunt, I so admired. She always had a great sense of humor & filled you with joy when visiting. She had a special gift of appreciating the simple things of life that others seem to miss, nature, plants, animals , flea markets & so much more. She was true to her cherokee hertiage, a beautiful woman inside & out. She will be missed by all who knew her.
