meals and chit-chatting with everyone<br />

around the room.<br />

the lawn care industry, followed by 14 years<br />

with Heflin Home Remodeling in<br />

Marysville, Ohio, before retiring to enjoy<br />

playing the piano, singing aloud to her favorite<br />

songs, and making friendly acquaintances<br />

in her community.<br />

She uplifted everyone she spoke with, always<br />

showing genuine concern for their<br />

well-being, and praising them for their individuality.<br />

Survivors to whom she imparted her<br />

kindness include: her children, Travis Long<br />

of Whitehall and Jessica (Terry) Gbur of Indiana;<br />

step-daughter, Lori (Antonio) Diaz of<br />

Arizona; grandchildren, Elias and Decklan<br />

her in death, including: her father; her<br />

grandmother, Blair Hall and Grandma and<br />

Grandpa Davis; sister, Marilyn Hall; sister,<br />

Penny Swanson; and step-daughter, Katie<br />

Young.<br />
