only an independently owned

years, many local
firms have either
closed their doors or
sold their businesses
to national funeral providers. We stand ready to serve the community today
and in the future with competitive pricing.
Our facility which offers spacious chapels, private parking and highly-skilled
professionals who have also been part of the community for decades.

Familiar to all in the community, she earned the nickname “Mayor of
Palmetto Street.” She was a phenomenal baker and cook, sharing many
meals of traditional German recipes with the entire community, including
firehouses and schools. She raised all of her children to reach for the stars
and to believe in themselves so they could successfully realize all of their
dreams and goals, pushing them to boundless limits. She cared about all of
those around her and made them the best they could be. Her favorite treat
was listening to each of her children’s play musical instruments as she sang
loudly in the background. Visitation was held Tuesday, February, 18 from
