Friends counted on her and she was always willing to lend a helping hand. She enjoyed her role as "Mam Maw" and loved her grandsons dearly. Her last few years were spent in Brandon, MS, where she enjoyed seeing her "handsome" great-grandsons, telling stories about her childhood and the love of her life, Cecil, and making friends in her assisted living home.

She is survived by her daughter, Dawn McGinn (Charlie) of Gulfport, MS; her grandsons, Brett Jenkins of Gulfport, MS, and Brooks Jenkins (Emily) of Brandon, MS; and her great grandsons, Carter, Jake, and Zach Jenkins also of Brandon, MS.
