She loved so many things in life but what she loved most was her family. She was always there for her family. She was an incredibly strong and determined individual who taught her children and grandchildren that they could do anything they set their minds to. She was always busy doing something. She was hilarious, outspoken, opinionated, and silly. She was able to make anyone laugh and was loved by all. She loved to sing and dance especially enjoying performing for her good friend, Gerald Grimes. We will all cherish her calls on our birthdays with her rendition of Happy Birthday.She is preceded in death by her husband James, daughter, Janice Jones and son, Stanley Creed.
