She was proud to have the biggest and best Texas burger in town. To the day she passed, she still had customers talking about how they missed her Texas burger. After closing the store she worked another 10 years for the Hunt County Clerk’s Office before retiring.

Before her health failed, she would participate in monthly retirement luncheons.
