She was born on January 7, 1933, to J.O. and Audrey Cardin of Stuttgart. She was a member of Mount Carmel Baptist Church and rocked her many babies in the daycare for 19 years. Always with a stash of chocolate, she loved her gospel music, canning and family dinners. Special times for her were spent barefoot, wearing her costume jewelry, and laughing and joking with family and friends.
