Jettie always said how everything changed for her when she had her children.

She was an excellent cook and she loved to eat! we're going to miss her dearly roots her daily routine worshipping, praising, and thanking God; making her coffee gearing up to watch the news, Let's Make a Deal and her soap operas. Jettie had an amazing sense of humor and a unique laugh! Her wit was razor sharp as she was known to say the most shocking things you could ever think of, in hopes of helping you see a new perspective.
