Jones, several nursing homes in the area and Texoma Medical Center. She loved being a caregiver, not only as a career, but as a way of life. Whenever anyone needed help, she was there. She had dedicated one of her spare bedrooms as a pantry and furnished food to many. Her grandchildren lovingly referred to the room as “Nannie-Mart”. Edith and Dan opened up their home to almost every child and grandchild at some point. If you needed help, Nannie and Granddad were there to do whatever they could. Edith laid Dan to rest in March of 2010. She missed him deeply, but filled her time by serving the Lord, taking care of her family and spending time with her dear sister, Linda. How she loved her days with her sister, lunching and shopping. They would spend hours looking for those bargains! She also loved to volunteer at the church school, listening to the children read to her. This was one of the highlights of her week. She was looking forward to the new school year, along with beginning to volunteer at TMC with her dear friend and neighbor, Carolyn Bronaugh.
