advanced in years when she passed away a couple of years ago but she did not let that hold her
back she kept doing her favorite hobbies baking cookies for the kids all the time she liked making
fruit roll-ups so she would boil apples and strawberries and all kinds of fruit and dry it
roll it up and she had these delicious fruit roll-ups for all her grandkids when they came by
so the cookie jar was always filled and there was always these delicious fruit snacks she was
just a beautiful lady she even though she was advanced in years you know for a while she was
dying her hair black but then she let it go white and i absolutely adored how sweet she
looked with her white hair letting herself you know look like she was getting older
you know she was no spring chicken she was 89 when she passed away and even though she was getting
on in years she still played games with us kids all the time we would play card games word games
i remember when i was little lots of times the other adults didn't want to play with us kids
and they would want to play games at the adult table but my grandma could always be counted on
to join in with the kids to play a game she taught me how to play a lot of games pinocchio my parents
weren't patient enough to teach me pinnacle but she did she was willing to teach me that game she
also loved quilting often there would be a quilt set up in her living room that she was working on
with a thimble on her finger she just was the most kind soul she was very thoughtful always
remembering a present on your birthday and at christmas she loved throwing parties and making
sure that people realized she loved them with the thing the nice things she would do for them okay
