She loved spending time with her family, laughing with friends, and working in the yard. Whether cheering on Gamecock football, feeding the birds, or simply enjoying the outdoors, she found joy in life’s simple pleasures. Her warmth, kindness and unwavering love will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her. Though she is no longer with us, her memory will live on through the love she shared.
