Last but not least, loving mother to Charlie..... a/k/a Raymond....
She loved gardenias, crosswords, slot machines, words with friends, was a voracious reader and could never learn enough.
She was an avid sports fan, loved her Miami Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes, Johnny Unitas, tennis and bowling.
She was a fierce bridge player and Jeopardy contestant (even if it was from home)
She was a pioneer... from piccolo player in the marching band at Miami Jackson High, Class of 1952, drove an 18 wheeler, substitute teacher, seamstress, exceptional real estate broker, self-taught artist and piano player.
Her greatest joy was to spend time with the family that she created, loved and protected with all her heart.
She gave us words to live by... "Forward ever, backward never within ourselves our future lies", "Don't sweat the small stuff" and most of all "No fumbling on the goal line"!
She will be forever loved and forever missed.

Serenity Funeral Home and Cremation has been entrusted with the funeral arrangements.
