A member of First Light Church, Vandalia, and Johnnie Carole looked forward to the time she spent with her dear friends at Sunday school who have been a wonderful support system over the years. Her passion for giving did not go unnoticed as she spent her time making gifts for her family and friends, including handmade cozy fleece blankets and pillows. She loved to work in her garden, admire her favorite flowers of roses, begonias, African violets, and magnolias, watch her beloved Kentucky Wildcats and Cincinnati Bengals, and listen to her favorite artists in country and gospel. She loved to cook for her family and you never left her house hungry. She was always cooking their favorite dishes of soup beans and cornbread, beef stew, and fried chicken.
