After having a serious, life changing stroke in 2012, she worked hard to regain things that most people take for granted. She did so with hard work and determination. She blessed so many people with her loving, caring and compassionate ways and her strength to fight. She inspired everyone she knew to be strong and to work hard to overcome obstacles. Unfortunately, the stroke left her with vascular dementia that was a slow and deteriorating disease. Through the help of her grandson, Jake Moore, and her great-granddaughter, Neviah, who lived with her and cared for her daily she overcame many obstacles with this disease and her lingering effects from the stroke, making her able to live at the home she loved up to her last days.
