Those who knew her, even briefly, knew her for her kindness and generosity. She loved to give and share whatever she had with others. She showed a genuine care for others. She also loved her children and grandchildren very much and was a loving and caring mother and grandmother. A role that she loved and cherished. Among her friends, she was known for her willingness to help them unselfishly. She also loved to serve the members of her church through her many acts of service. Whether it was a word of encouragement, a handsewn gift, a hug, an affectionate embrace or her homemade tofu which was known throughout the community, she loved to give and serve others. She will be truly missed not just by her family but by all who knew her.
