Memory was very family oriented and loved having all of her family around her. She loved gardening and could grow just about anything. Memory was strong in her faith and fought a courageous battle with cancer. She was strong-willed and everyone knew it was either her way or the highway. Memory way considered the ultimate “care-giver” and was always looking for ways to help others. She was affectionately known as “Nana” to her grandchildren and she loved cooking and baking with her granddaughters. Memory was an inspiration to all of her family throughout her life and lived by the ideals of never giving up on anyone. She and Gary started out as friends and were dating other people. They would eventually come together as best friends and their love grew fast. Memory and Gary created a special bond in marriage and she even learned to share her family, which was very hard for her. She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. A visitation for Memory will be held Tuesday, April 21, 2015 from 6:00 until 8:00 pm at Clayton Funeral Home, 5530 W.
