Maude Evelyn wanted to have a happy home, filled with laughter and love, so she filled it with children.
She loved cooking from scratch; recipes her mother had passed down. Recipes using a pinch of this and a dash of that. Also, she loved to plant, grow, and arrange flowers.
She was an avid worker in her churchs’ fundraisers by applying her cooking skills. She made fruit cakes, pies, and peanut brittle.
Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church was number one in her life and she faithfully attended.
Our family would like to give thanks to the caring people at Texas Home Health Hospice.
