My little big sister through marriage.
Has always been right there with James and Lenee except for few years she stayed with Marsha Ann.
My Aunt Peaches was an amazing woman in so many ways to me. She took into her heart and home a small unwanted baby girl and loved her like she was her own. She could make you laugh and cry at the same time. She was sassy and at times had no filters. She loved unconditionally. My Aunt Peaches loved to be on the go…she woukd not turn down any opportunity to go any where. She taught me how to not give up even when life is hard. She loved my sweet potato pies. I feel so blessed to have known her. My kids and I will never forget her. We didn’t have much growing up in Huntersville but one thing we did have is an abundancy of love. Rest in peace my Queen and thank you for just being you. I will miss you but you will never be forgotten Your niece Doris
To My Aunt Peaches:
A woman full of strength, tenacity and most of all love.
Often her love was shown in a “feisty” form which taught me balance between compassion and character.
I remember being amazed at how much she loved to watch wrestling! WWE to be exact.
Growing up I had alot of male cousins so of course a tomboy stage was inevitable. My Aunt Peaches never told me I couldn’t do something because I was a girl. She actually encouraged me to beat the boys at any and all games. You can imagine how that translated into my adulthood. I love you “Lil Ol Lady”(inside joke). Thank you for being a part of the foundation of what made me who I am today. I celebrate your love and your life. Always. ❤🙏🏾🕊
