- Her table was never too full; if you didn’t have a place to go on Thanksgiving, you had a place with her. She met life with a sharp wit and a loud laugh, and she leaves behind countless stories that start with, “Remember that time she…?” At work, she was known as “Big Mama,” a nickname she earned because everyone was family to her. She was a great listener and kept everyone laughing, even on the hardest days. Her legacy is one of open doors, full tables, and laughter that made even the most ordinary days feel like a party. As she always said to us, and as we now say back to her: “I love you to the moon and back, more than the highest airplane in the sky.”
Attire: Mom loved purple, green, and aquamarine, but more than anything, she loved the people in her life, so please wear whatever brings you comfort as we gather to celebrate her.
- After the service, the celebration of life will continue with food and music at the Park Forest Apartments Club Housein River de Peres (park in clubhouse parking): 7529 Fleta St., St. Louis, MO 63123
