Here she is with my dad's father. They look so in love. From her stories of him, he sounded like a great man, with a jovial personality, always cracking jokes. Daddy takes a lot after him, even though he died before Daddy was old enough to know him.
In this picture, Grandma is sitting with her two youngest sons, Marion and Jimmy. The picture is dated May 1961.
Here's Daddy and Grandma together at a family reunion in the early-80's.
This is one of the latest pictures I have of Grandma, and it's one of my all-time favorites. Her sweet spirit is so plain to see in her smile and her eyes.

Now that last one shows a happy lady. She seems so sad, or tired, in the one with the children. And so very happy in the one with her husband. I didn't know about chocolate gravy until I was in my 30's and a neighbor introduced us. He grew up with it and his children loved it. It's a good heritage to pass along, with her love, too.
