those that loved her, will be forever remembered as a classy lady with the kindest and sweetest
personality. She loved the sun, the beach, and rings on every finger. She loved lots of bling
especially anything in animal print and she was always up for an adventure. She will be greatly
missed. Thanks to all the family and friends who have given support during these last few
weeks and a special thanks to cousins Redonna Phillips, Lori Sims and Gayla Carey, who were
always willing to lend a hand. Also, to her best friend and sister-in-law, Joy Sue Woods for
always being there at a moment’s notice and keeping everyone fed. Her Celebration of Life
memorial will be held Thursday, June 1st, 2023 at the Stanfill Funeral Home & Cremation from
4pm-8pm.
