I have so many memories of Mabel. Mabel taught me so many things. She taught me how to do everything on a farm from gardening, canning, milking a cow to butchering chickens. she was amazing in all the things she had so much knowledge of. I remember Mabel as always having open arms to those she loved. She had a generous heart. Most of all I remember her strength and courage through any challenge or sadness that came her way. She meant so much to many and I know I will sadly miss her but hold her close forever
