Mom had a very special relationship with her twin sister Linda. They have spent their lives with a deep bond and love for each other that only they fully understood. We grew up with two moms and 3 extra siblings, Lori, Daymon and Paula. We’ve had lots of fun times through the years. Uncle Butch has been a rock for our mom through many hard times and we love him for always being there for mom and for us.
We want to thank Autumn Place Columbus and Harry Hynes Hospice for their love and care of our mom the last two and a half years.
Graveside services are set for Monday January 22, 2024 at 1:00 in Pleasant View Cemetery, officiated by Wes Davis. Mom has been entrusted to Derfelt Funeral Home in Baxter for cremation. Online condolences may be expressed at www.derfeltfuneralhomes.com.
