(she loved to drive) She moved to Florida in 2004. She worked as a Limo Driver until illness caused her to retire. She moved back to Nashville about two years ago. She will always be remembered for having a smile and the biggest and best hugs ever. She had no children but loved them all and they loved her. Her babies were her cats. Every animal she met seemed to know she was a good soul and she loved them all. She had the biggest heart and was there for you when you needed a pep talk or a hug. Some of her favorite things were playing cards, gardening, garage sales, camping, fishing or just sitting around her home in her backyard. If someone had a guitar she was singing along. She truly was an Angel here on earth and will be missed by so many. There will be no service per her wishes and she has donated her body to Science so she can go on helping people.
