One very special great-great-granddaughter, Bajah Lennox spent countless days entertaining her. She loved being outdoors, gardening and tending to her flowers. Quilting was a passion and she made and gave away over 100 in the past 40 years. She was a very selfless woman and was devoted to her family. A very special thank you to Dr. Raymond Craciun and the entire staff of Northcrest Medical Center in Springfield, TN for taking extra care of a very special lady.
