Sissy lived in Texas, Oregon, and Virgina but settled in Belton for the majority of her life. Sissy worked for Scott and White Belton Clinic for 25 plus years and Gabriella’s dance-n-dynamics for 11 years before retiring to enjoy the remainder of her life with family and friends. Sissy always had an open door policy from her kids’ friends growing up to hosting events for friends and family. She lived to travel with friends and go antiquing, shopping at market, bingo and their annual Christmas events. Her yard was the showstopper of Morgan’s Point with her Eclectic Decor and beautiful plants. She found great happiness in helping family and friends with their yards. She had a green thumb like no other and the heavens gardens will be Amazing with her there. She was a proud grandma and loved to attend sporting events for her grandchildren. She had a heart of gold and left us all with amazing memories.
