Chances are, you were blessed enough to have met this local lady. She was always offering kind words, sharing her joy over supersavings, making gift baskets, guiding the youth and offering a helping hand. An encounter with Gmaw made for a happier day or an interesting 3 minutes, if you happened to see her happy savings checkout dance. Unforgettable!

Randie shared her gratitude towards God, excitement for life, love for her neighbors and her contagious fun energy. Her happiness was not something she contained.

Marana was a phenomenal human, incorporated her love for the Lord in everything she did and lead many others to follow Him.

She is proceeded in death by her parents and daughter, Carol Rhodes.
