Celebration of Life Services were held on July 10th at Belmont Heights Baptist Church, {This memorial has been placed in Woodlawn Memorial Park, because that was where her husband of 58 years was buried. Although her obituary DID NOT list her place of burial, a message was left with Woodlawn's administration office at 10:10am on October 5, 2022, to see if they would verify that she was buried there. If the answer is received and it's negative, this memorial will be deleted.}
