She and Harold worked hard to make a beautiful home and raise their family of 4 kids, Russell (Christin), Gail Brooks (Tony), Sharon Coleman (Tim), and Connie Knott (Kevin). Their care, love, and devotion to family was unquestionable. Later on, they enjoyed dancing and socializing at the American Legion and Elks, making many new friends.

To Our Sweet, Darling Sister,
You were the glue that held our family together. You were the one we could count on when we needed advice or just someone to talk to. A fun thing I’ve can say about you and get a good laugh is if someone made you angry you never got mad or even raised your voice, you could put them in their place with just one sentence. You raised four beautiful children who stood by you to the end and we are so very thankful for that and them. Ourfondest memory is the one Mabel secret we shared together, we can laugh ourselves all the way to heaven with that. We all love you a bushel and a peck. Those were the last words you uttered to Cleo and I. We will carry that song in our hearts forever. Sweet sister, we love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck. Our love Cleo, Jolene and Don ❤️❤️❤️
