(Fauneil.....our moms real first name, but she never used it. The story I heard is when she was born, the doctor didn't know how to spell her first name, so he just put down Fannie Estelle! Estelle hated Fannie even more which is why she just told folks she had no middle name. There ya go; except I probably got it all wrong.
Our mom had a rough life from start to finish. She was the oldest of 19 total kids. She quit school at 7 I think. Not because she just didn't like it (but she didn't), but because 1) she was needed at home & 2) the other kids made fun of her chewing tobacco. . Still you couldn't find a better woman who just made most people feel happy if they sat and talked. Estelle would have been 86 this year. As much as we her children, and the rest of her family wish she was still with us, I'm thinking she wouldn't like being 86. Love you Mama! ❤️
Sure wish Avery could have known you.
