She loved her family and held then dear to her heart.  She was the happiest when her entire family was at her home and she was ensured they were full of chicken and dumplings and pig pickin’ cake.  She loved her church family.  If there was a church event or outing, you could count on Ann and Rayon being there and helping where they were needed.  She will be deeply missed by both her family and church family.
