She loved her flower garden and worked in it every day the weather permitted. She loved her Church and was famous for her ''mounds cake''. She was a good friend and devoted wife and mother. She loved to travel and shared all her talent for sewing, canning and cooking with everyone. She volunteered at the Orpheum Theater in Memphis and enjoyed all the plays that came through.
She is survived by 12 children. Margie Sutton of Wildwood, Florida; Carolyn Justus of Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas; Sharon Britt and Darlene Kellews of Bradford, Arkansas; Jerry Hall. David Hall, Roy Hall, and Robert Hall of Tyronza, Arkansas; Debby Bornhoft of Harrisburg, Arkansas and Vivian McKinney of Boliver, Tennessee as well as 33 grandchildren and 58 great grandchildren.
