They made their way to Brookston Texas and then Lamar Point where she planted her roots and spent the rest of her days. During her time there she brought home multiple grandchildren and even great-great grandchildren. Memaw loved spending time with her family and friends, loving on everyone, having family reunions, spending holidays cooking for her big family, shopping and playing bingo. In her spare time she would sit out in her swing, read a book or watch game show network. Her house always felt like home to anyone who entered and she always always took the time to lend a listening ear and advice without the judgement. She loved with her whole heart and helped anyway she could. She did work outside of the home, but being a homemaker for her children and tons of grand and great grandchildren was what she did best.
