Thanks to basil for sharing this with us on a different forum. As I said there, she lived a full life. And a very independent one at that.

Makes me sad for our country, though. It's people with spirit and gumption, and I dare say common sense, like hers that made America great. No victim mentality in her to depend on the gubberment - yet that's all you do see in one form or another in the majority of our citizens today.

God bless and rest her soul.

Amen to that. Real women are hard to find.

Her niece, Lorena "Doddie" Dodson Furrh, called her "my grandfather's son."

That sentence really stuck out to me....I've been called my fathers "oldest son" for most of my life. When other little girls were playing with dolls I was following my dad around learning how to fix things and when I got old enough I learned to fish, hunt and shoot! My younger brother always resented me for it...LOL
