Greenville, TX Friday, March 13, 2026 Although I didn't know her personally, her children and grandchildren give a very clear representation of their upbringing. They are all very loving, kindhearted individuals and "the nut doesn't fall very far from the tree" so she had to be the most loving and kindhearted individual ever! To Tim, Sissy, Micky, Trenton, and the entire family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.Kim and Larry Hood
