Moved to Houston, TX where she continued to be a homemaker and would take us wherever we and our friends needed to go; she was always doing for other people, especially her children.  She was interested in art, pets, music, singing, dancing and some martial arts, she had lots of hobbies, her favorite was supporting her children in their activities, events and ball games; she NEVER missed a one!  She was the most supportive person on this earth.
She was a loving mother, a loyal wife, a friend to many, and a hero to most.
She was separated from her husband, my father in 1987.
She stayed in the house for the next 2 years until I was on my own... She divorced from my father in 1989.

Moved back to Stillwater, OK to be close to relatives, where she then got a job at Wyatts Cafeteria as a hostess/server and worked  until they closed a few years later.  She was then hired on as a residential care activities director at a local residential home for the elderly.  She also did individual elderly care, as needed.  This was something she loved to do, as her nature was helping people and doing for others.  When she semi-retired, due to her illness, she went back to homemaking and focusing on her health and family.
