She was always on the go and would spend many hours cleaning her home. She always held two jobs and her hard work ethic earned her the nickname “Sarg” from her friends and family. She had a deep faith in Jesus and loved to watch church services on T.V... With all the work she did, she always made time to be with her family. Her love, compassion and kindness will be greatly missed.
