She lived most of her life in Oklahoma and left this world at her and Roy’s beautiful log home in Rogers, Arkansas, March 18th, 2022 after an 18-month hard fought battle with renal cell carcinoma which had spread throughout her body.
She spent her life serving others, paying it forward and was deeply loved by her family and friends. She was extremely talented, loved doing crafts and made beautiful quilts, cross stich, soaps and knitted items. She had a real eye for beauty and enjoyed decorating her home with beautiful things. She loved to cook, bake and try new recipes. We will all miss her wonderful meals and goodies she made.
