She loved the Lord and had been involved in foreign missions in Indonesia, co-pastoring churches. Played the guitar left handed and used her talent by playing and singing in church and on radio. She was also involved in Bible teaching in Sunday School and Bible school. She is absent from the body but at home with the Lord. We miss her greatly but rejoice in knowing that she is enjoying heaven and the presence of the Savior whom she so dearly loved.
