She was a Massage Therapist & Physical Therapy Assistant, and registered Hospice Volunteer. She loved to garden and found great joy in sharing her flowers and veggies with others.
She left this earth behind to join her loved ones in Heaven on April 29th, 2016. Because of her desire to help ease the suffering of people with Debilitating Illness, she had arranged for her earthly remains to be donated to UAMS for Medical Research & Education.
