Nona left the Northwest Arkansas area at an early age traveled quite a bit and settled in the Houston area where she raised her six children. She worked in the food and beverage industry most of her life. She enjoyed the fast-paced city life and the busy atmosphere of working in the shadows of the eighth wonder of the world, the Houston Astrodome. She always expressed how much she would enjoy being able to still be working. She stayed very busy with her children and grandchildren caring and nurturing even after her hard days at work. She was a very caring and giving woman. After her retirement she moved to Crosby Texas which is where she lived until she passed from this world.

Psalms 121:7-8 "The LORD will keep you from harm-he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."

Thank you mom.
