A woman of unwavering faith and boundless love, she touched countless lives with her warmth, generosity and strength.

In her younger years, she found joy in playing golf and softball, embracing life with energy and enthusiasm.Her presence was magnetic—she had an instant connection with everyone she met, and her love for others was both genuine and abundant. A devoted member of her church, she served faithfully as the head of the hospitality committee, where she ruled with an iron fist and a soft heart. Her leadership was marked by compassion, dedication and a deep desire to serve. She lived to do for others and in doing so, she left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy is one of kindness, strength and faith—a life lived in service to God and to others. She will be greatly missed by all and her memory will live on in our hearts forever. We take comfort in knowing she is now at peace and resting in the arms of her Savior. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to First Baptist Church, Luling or the American Heart Association.
