“Gee” was the rock of our family in so many ways and will be missed greatly by all that she touched. She was a “mother” to so many in our extended family and in the community. Her heart was always open and the family dinners at her house she always made special for everyone that came.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, September 7th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lone Palm Golf Club. Condolences may be sent to the family at Gentry-Morrison Funeral Homes.
