Gregory Chorale Choir at Jesus the Good Shepherd helped her to accomplish her

was fortunate enough to visit several throughout Europe and sing in some. Mrs.

adorned her yard. To all who knew her she was the epitome of a true southern 
lady. She enjoyed the time she spent with her granddaughter, Ashley, while 
attending graduate school at ULM. Being a good baseball mom she spent numerous 
hours at the ball park watching her four boys play and her husband coach them 
as well as her sons coaching her grandsons. Her greatest love was time spent
