She worked several jobs which included Cotton Gin, Laundry Mat, Bushes Bakery, Manager for a Mobile Home Park, Rawson storage and Foster Grandparents.

From Cheering on the sidelines at Softball fields, Band events, Cub Scouts, Brownies, to also watching some of her kids join the Military. She always tried to be in four different places at once and always managed to get them from one place to another. Even forgetting some of us at grocery stores, Brownies or even Cub Scouts. She had her hands full but always made life work for herself and her Children. We will always cherish all those Memories that we made with her.
