She worked as a hostess and curbside waitress at B. Merrell’s, and as also worked at Callaway Gardens in past summers.

She loved animals and wanted to be a Veterinarian.  She was investigating a career in the Air Force. She loved spending time with her friends, having fun being silly, and having good times “hanging out”. She wants all her friends and family to know she LOVES them very much and can’t wait to see them in HEAVEN.  John 3:16 “For God so Loved the World that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but "have Eternal Life”. This is her favorite verse in the bible.
