Grandmother of 25 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren, also survived by numerous nieces and nephew. She loved playing her nickel slot machines, playing poker with her family and was very proud of being the president of her special poker club. She was known for making the best chocolate cake with runny icing, Spanish rice, meat loaf, pancakes, eggs in the hole and she made the best sweet tea in the world. She always had a bowl of "grandma mints" to great you at the door. It was her wish to be cremated. She would not want us to go on on grieving for her but to be happy for her knowing she was in a much better place. She will be with her two daughters and other family members who had gone on before for her once again. She will no longer be in pain and will always be looking down on us. She has left us all with so many wonderful memories and we know she will be with each of us every day, in our minds and in our hearts.
