She loved making beautiful sweaters and booties for all the babies in the family. Her skills in baking were world class and everyone had a favorite request for family gatherings. In her earlier years, she and her husband enjoyed traveling. They fished for snook in Florida and for trout in Montana, Wyoming and West Virginia with family. On their annual trips to Florida, she made beautiful porcelain baby dolls, even making baby doll clothing to fit each doll. There will be a private memorial service for family members to say goodbye. The family would like to thank the medical staff at both Cabell Huntington Hospital and the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House for their excellent care.
