Kathleen worked in the nursing home for 40 years and also worked 30 years for Bank of Eufaula.
Mom never met a stranger and anyone who knew her, knew she liked to talk and visit. She was always there if anyone needed help, whatever it may be. She still gave my brothers and I orders all the time. The day she went into the hospital, she was making sure that I paid her phone bill.
She loved going to Branson and spending time with her family. She loved going to see the Oak Ridge Boys and country music concerts.
