Services are under the direction of Barnes and Johnson Funeral Home in Midwest City. Mom was devoted to her husband, family and church. She especially loved working with children and children were drawn to her love. She has blessed many lives with her love and kindness. Mom was an avid reader. Her sewing was meticulous and her cooking legendary, both of which were done with the greatest of love for others. She loved a good puzzle or game show, and was a formidable rival at any video game (just ask her grandchildren).

Mom was preceded in death by her husband of 53 loving years. No words can express how much her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will miss her. Barnes & Johnson Funeral Home
