Mabel attended the schools of Tygarts Valley and was a tireless homemaker, wife and mother. She loved flowers and made sure her porch was covered in beautiful hanging baskets all summer long. The loved and sacrifice for her family and taking care of them was unyielding. Our hearts will have a piece missing forever.
