She is survived by daughters, Nancy Stanley (Jake) of Victorville, Calif., Mary Gazaway (Howard) of Basin, and Delores Cornet of Oakview, Calif.; sons, Kenneth Rosenbaum of Prospect, Ore., David Rosenbaum (Wanda) of Gillette, and Lloyd Rosenbaum of Merlin, Ore.

Her love and great spirit will be missed by us all.
A big thank you to all of the family and friends who were her caregivers.
Her final words to us would probably go something like this: I love you all dearly. Now don't shed a tear, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.
