Mama was the bed rock of our family. To say she was a homemaker diminishes her real value to us. She was entirely devoted to her family and her God. She was a woman of unquestionable character. As stated in Proverbs, she was a "virtuous woman, her value was far above rubies". She will be deeply missed by her family and her friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, son, Steven H. Lingar and two brothers, J.T. Hammac and Franklin Delano Hammac, son-in law, Dennis Dye.
