Our aunt Meme was truly was one of the funniest, kindest, and most sincere people I’ve ever known. Her warmth and humor always lit up the room, and she had such a special way of making everyone feel loved and welcome. I’ll miss her dearly.

I'll never forget "Meme" from when I worked at the bank inside Walmart. She would always treat us to M&M's and other snacks, even though we told her she didn't have to. She was always so positive and will be remembered as such. Thinking about the entire family during this time.
