She was an avid sports lover and loved to watch Nicole and Ryley play ball. There weren't many games she ever missed. When she wasn’t watching them, she was watching ball on tv and rooting for the opposite team as Alvin. She loved her family with her whole heart and stuck around as long as she did, because she said she just didn’t want to leave. The light of her life was her only grandchild, Nicole…that was until Ryley arrived. The bond that was formed between them is strong as they come. She loved her family more than anything and was their rock. The family will receive friends from 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Monday June 24, 2024 at Gentry Family Funeral Service in East Bend.
