She died from Sugar Diabetis:Her legs were amputated from a injury she had recieved years before that never healed;Gram went into a sugar coma and only came out long enough to see Jesus come to take her home.
I'm told my grandmother had 14 children,If so only those I'm aware of are listed.
She was a hard working farmers wife and coal miners wife;she drove a mail wagon in the depression and farmed.She was an excellent cook and seamstress.
She often cried over her "BABIES"What happened to them I was never told.But it hurt her very much.
Grams favorite verse in her worn out bible was the 23rd Psalms and she enjoyed singing hymns.Gram relied heavily on god to guide her .
There was no one she wouldnt help when needed.
She loved to speak Welsh and hoped to go back to her native land some day.She never made it home.
Below I've placed her family tree in Wales a tribute to the kindest woman I ever knew.
