As an avid reader, she kept the Abbeville librarians busy.Her lamp stayed on every night as she “just could not put down” any book she had started.She also read the Bible from cover to cover every year. Watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy were TV shows she tried hard not to miss, along with all the cooking channels and Hallmark.As time goes by, PBS, one of her favorites.Her youngest daughter followed her mother’s love of reading with her own-winning many summer reading contests. She was an enthusiastic fan and cheerleader of all things “Abbeville” as her children attended school throughout the years.She especially enjoyed basketball games as she watched her son and his fellow classmates play.Her affection for all her children’s classmates was true and sincere and she always kept up with each of them, wishing them well.
