Letta, as she was called, loved to bake. She was known for baking delicious cakes and pies. Some of her favorites, german chocolate, strawberry and pineapple upside down cakes, sweet potato and lemon meringue pies, just to name a few. Letta was a loving, kind and generous person, she would give you the shirt off of her back to help you. She will be truly missed.
