She attended the First Church of the Nazarene in Florence in earlier years and later The River. She loved the outdoors, growing flowers and vegetables, watching her hummingbirds feed and squirrels play, watching people walk up and down the street and trying to figure out where they lived, but the real joy in her life was sitting on her carport and when a car pulled into the driveway, watching the door open and her babies come spilling out and run to her for a big hug. Then came the famous question, "Are you hungry? Come on in and Mamaw will fix you something to eat!" Mamaw was always the caregiver. She answered to many names over the years, Christine, Chris, Cricket, Aunty, Mother, Mom, Mama, Grandmother, Memaw, Mamaw, and Mimmaw, but one thing remained the same, she was everyone's Granny, and there will never be another one who can fill her shoes.

Pallbearers will be; Daniel Davis, Luke Davis, Christian Sandy, Kenny Lane, Nicolas Sandy, and Logan Sandy. Honorary pallbearers are Del Chandler, Michael Sandy, and Neal Myrick.

The Family would like to offer special thanks to Dr. William Hobbs and the staff at ECM Hospital, especially palliative care nurses.
