Three grandchildren: Kiana Woodard, Xavier Story, and Isaiah Charlton. As well as three great grandchildren: Mekhi Dent, Grayson Story, and Julian Myers. She loved spending time with her family, listening to music, reading books, and going to the beach. Her infectious laugh, silly personality, and warm presence brought joy and love to all those around her. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren meant more than anything to her and her world revolved around them. The world is truly a darker place without her light in the world.
