Even during her most fragile days, she continued to encourage, inspire, and remain strong for her family. She sacrificed much in her lifetime, but her faith remained strong and steadfast through it all. They shared some really good years together serving and being active with Gideons International and faithfully attending church every Sunday morning at several local churches. Years later, she married her second husband, Eugene McInturff. She loved them all unconditionally and called them her “Special Blessings.” When she began having her precious grandchildren, her world became much brighter. And she surely did, her faith in God never wavering. She trusted in God, focused on her children, and determined that, somehow, she would get through it.
After losing our dad, she was lost and broken, facing a life without him. Mama knew no strangers and made everyone’s day a little brighter if she was in the room. She worked at Avtex in Front Royal for 20 years and made many lasting friendships. Mama also loved her flowers and usually had them planted all the way around the house. She made a lot of our clothes when we were small children. She loved to sew and could make anything she set her mind to. It must have been true because everything was always delicious, especially her fried chicken, biscuits, and gravy. She was such a great cook and always said her food tasted better because it was made with so much love. She continued this until her eyesight failed her. But in a short time, she grew to love every little nook and cranny of that farmhouse and treasured all the years we spent there.įor many years, she faithfully got up early every morning for her quiet time to read her Bible and start her day off with God. In 1964, we moved to what will forever be called “Our Home Place” off Strasburg Road in Warren County, which she hated at first. She was a wonderful “Mama” and always made sure her children’s needs came first, from the very day we were born, continuing until her last day on this earth. She worked hard at taking care of four babies while making time for carrying water, milking cows, and gathering eggs. Mama always made sure we had everything we needed. During those early years in Rappahannock County, life was simple but so very good. By the time she turned 20, she was a young mother of four.
She found the Love of her life, Raymond, and they eloped when she was fifteen.
