In 2006 she decided to move to Tyler to be closer to family. Her ashes will be scattered in the Memory Garden at St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church in Florida at a later date. Finally, the family wants to sincerely thank the Hampton’s Assisted Living Center and especially Choice Hospice for their loving and compassionate care and support.
