She was a very independent and creative woman. She loved working in the garden or yard. She loved animals. If mom loved you, she loved you, blood doesn't make you family, love does. She loved the Lord and she loved being our momma, grandma Mel and GiGi. She's a multitalented woman and went by many names, but ultimately loved by all. She was fiercely independent and outgoing and after 57, taught herself how to drive a motorcycle. She loved the outdoors and to camp. She had a green thumb. But most of all she loved being a grandma. She retired after 25 years at Safeway, then retired after 30 years from Glad. She was also a two-time world Champion (Demolition).
She requested no services. She just asked you to remember her the way you did. Cremation is under the direction of Roller-Citizens Funeral Home in Marianna, Arkansas. Family & friends may view and sign online guestbook at rollerfuneralhomes.com/Marianna.
