She was preceded in death by her parents; two husbands; a sister Anna Todd Street.

Mama thoroughly enjoyed traveling the world with family and friends, camping-out with grandchildren, teaching water aerobic classes at Figure World, volunteering at Kendrick Elementary, and cake decorating. She was talented with the making of her yearly Christmas candy- divinity- that she would box up and share with her loved ones. Ten years ago, after Mama had her first stroke, she began sewing adult bibs for Providence Park. When visiting a dining room at Providence Park, look around and see all the lives our mother touched with this special gift. She made thousands!

In 2006, Governor Rick Perry and the Texas State Board of Education in Austin, honored 15 Texas Volunteers with the Heroes for Children Award. Our mother was one of those 15, a nominee from Kendrick Elementary in Waco.

In lieu of flowers, the family request that memorials be made to Kendrick Elementary School.
