Predeceased by her oldest child; Jody Stokes in 1988 and her loving. husband in 2020. Mom was always feisty, spicy, and full of life. She welcomed everyone she met with a smile, was loving kind, open hearted and always laughing. Always helped others in need however she could and truly touched the lives of many. She loved her family with all her heart and showed it in everything she did. Some of her favorite memories were at her parent's cottage on Lake Huron and loved all the bonfires and get togethers we shared over the years. She loved children and animals deeply as well as her love of the Lord. She spent many years donating her time teaching Sunday school at the Deckerville United Methodist Church and even would get all dressed up as a clown for the kids on special occasions at church. She was witty and funny and loved playing with the kids whenever she could. Of course, the babies gave her the most joy and loved having Olivia at home with her to love on and play with. Just another example of how much she loved children is she donated to St. Jude's Hospital charity that cares for children with cancer every month. Mom was truly a humble, selfless person but also the strongest. woman I've ever known. When she got her wings to fly home, God said Hallelujah your home. No showings or funeral service will be held for Mom, but we will be having a celebration of her life in the summer of 2023 with immediate close family only. Events Details are pending.
