Willie made many friends over the years and was a very compassionate person. She served as caregiver for her father, mother, and sister for many years. She also helped care for her friends who needed a helping hand. She was an avid Alabama football fan, enjoyed bowling and gardening. Peggy Vickery, her niece, would like to say it was an honor to have taken care of Willie for the past five years and to see her make a difference in the lives of those around her at Allen Memorial Home. Willie was not content to ''just sit in her wheelchair''. She encouraged others to join in all the activities. Her jokes, laughter and one-of- a-kind nature will always be remembered by all who met her. As Willie would always say to me, ''You be you and I'll be me!''
