“Ma Dean” as she was referred to, absolutely loved her family. The feeling was mutual. She devoted her life to God and happily told others of His free gift of eternal life. She never missed an opportunity to visit with her family and in her spare time you might find her sewing, cooking, baking, playing games, taking walks, garage sales, crafting, oil painting, singing, or just helping others.
We miss her so much already but look forward to our sweet heavenly reunion.
