Throughout her life, her faith was her guiding light. Alongside her husband in his ministry, she served with a joyful heart, eventually becoming a cherished member of Christian Church of Litchfield. She lived out her convictions through her gift for music and her tireless spirit of service, notably through her volunteer work with Hearts United in Litchfield. She found joy in the simple beauties of life.Whether she was filling the house with the sound of the piano, stiching together a new creation, or tending to her beloved indoor and outdoor gardens, she did so with a gentle and creative spirit. Her family will fondly remember her passion for reading and the comfort of her famous Skyline Chili. Above all, her legacy is one of devotion to the Lord and the family she loved so dearly.
