Her great granddaughter, Alexis Headlee wrote this poem for her:

GRANDMA

The snow will glisten

The stars will sparkle

Our thoughts will be loud with no one to listen

Time is coming for horrible sadness

Letting you go feels so tragic

Although you will be walking in the land of paradise

Looking down at the ones you love

We will keep you in our prayers daily as you watch from above

I know one day we will be side by side once again

This is not goodbye, so I will see you later my good friend
