Her Life

growing up

December 10, 2015

My Mother grew up on a farm picking cotton and having to walk to school. She has 1 brother and 3 sister's she was the second oldest and always talked about how hard picking cotton was. She would laugh about how she came to meet my dad, she told the story about how she was sitting on the porch with one of my cousin's who was about 18 months old at the time and seen my dad on the back of a garbage truck and told my baby cousin that she was going to marry him someday.  They would marry on January the 6th 1962 I believe. We would move from Waco to Dallas where my dad would start driving a 18 wheeler again and She would go on the road with him to help him drive something she loved to do alongside of bowling and playing bingo. She had open heart surgery back in 1972 that changed lives of the ones who loved her. She would live life the best she could after my dad passed away from a truck accident on October 14th1983. Until she would lose her fight with lung cancer on November 16th 2011. She is missed very much and loved even more.
