Nonie was a devout Christian lady and was loved by all who knew her. She never said an unkind word about anyone and she would go out of her way to help her friends and to serve her church. She will be deeply missed by everyone.

She had a family to love her
And friends to see her through
But best of all God’s promises
She had all of this, and now, heaven, too!
