So many memories of my childhood have you in it. From convincing me everyone decorated for my birthday just for me to learn that wasn’t exactly right to getting ready for prom in your dining room. There will never be a day you aren’t with us. We love you Granny ??
Holly & Jaxon Dersam - Granddaughter and great grandson

I love you grandma. I have so many memories of you that I dont know where to start.

So many memories through the years. Of Working with Joyce and Paul growing up with Ricky and the other Kids. Many Prayers go out to the family. May Joyce Rest in Peace. She will be greatly missed by All who knew her.
Bonnie & Paul Williams - family friend

Where do I even begin with memories..... so many.... long trips to repo cars, shopping trips, dinners, getting ready for prom in your dining room and taking pictures with the palm trees upstairs, you welcoming my step kids in just like they were your own....
Granny, you are loved and missed by so many. On one hand I'm sad, on the other I rejoice knowing you have been made whole again. You are now in heaven with grandpa dancing and having a grand time.
I love you granny grunt.
Christina Cameron - Granddaughter

If someone were to ask me for the most memorable moments with my Granny I would have to say they have been on one of our many travels, its hard to pick out the most memorable but I will always be thankful for seeing you hold my children for the first time and for you always being there when I needed you. I am so thankful for the ways you have supported me, just this year alone you have been the biggest supporter I have had in my life, you have encouraged me and helped me to believe in myself. When I look back on the times we have had together that mean the most it is without a doubt right after Grandpa went to Heaven, we spent some good times together for sure. I guess some of the things that stick out the most was fried green tomatoes at Mrs. Ramona's, the drunks in the road on a cold November night, one of our last conversations was about the kids and school and how Krissy had been inducted to NHS and you were so proud of her, we talked about how great she was doing learning to cook and that she wanted to maybe go to law school. You called Ty a little stinker when we talked about him and laughed a little about a joke or something he had said and then there is your little china doll, she told me the other day she wanted to make you proud of her and I told her you already were, they all three loved you so much and I am so thankful they knew the love of Great Grandparents. In my life you taught me many things but the most important was to love unconditionally, to fight for what I believed in and to make my own path so long as it was an acceptable path to God. Your light shone bright to this whole world Granny, many loved you and all cherished you. This is not good-bye it is simply Ill see you again, I know right now your in Heaven and your with those you loved the most who have gone on before you and I know someday when its my turn to enter Heaven's gates you will be waiting for me. I love you a bushel and a peck, today, tomorrow and forever and there will never be a day I do not miss your love! Rest in Peace with your Savior Granny Grunt!
Patti Dersam - Granddaughter
