She loved going shopping with her mom and sister in Springfield, Missouri and keeping in touch with her classmates. She was blessed with a beautiful voice and everyone loved to hear her sing. On Friday nights, she could always be found on the fifty-yard line watching the Camdenton Laker’s play football. She always supported her children in their sporting events. Jackie and Dave’s door was always open to the many friends that Sarah and Charlie would bring home with them. She loved having family and friends over to visit and eat great meals.
