on Sunday, March 30, 2003.

Wallace and together they had three children. Unfortunately, two of her 
children preceded her in death.
  She is survived by her grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and 
nephews. She was well known, loved, and honored by all the citizens of

her eyes in death.

place now. God bless you and your family.
