To all our Friends & family,
With a very heavy heart we lost mom a week ago today on the early morning of the 1st of January. You know her as Elnora M.Whittaker, or MOM or Grandma Whittaker! Mom was a very hard working lady, I met her when I was 27 years old and fell in love with her youngest son Sam R. Whittaker, she taught me what a real mom was all about and taught me to be a better mom and we became the best of friends, for almost 25 years we were inseparable. A lot of you know her from the shop, she used to do quilting on the long arm for about six years and nobody could do binding the way mom could and she did many many quilts for a lot of people! We started quilting together back in 1996-1997! Some of our best memories are going to quilt camp or taking a class together! Then family, she loved her family first and foremost, everything she did was for her kids and grandchildren,she loved teaching all of us how to cook and learn how to can things , especially our tomatoes, how to make all different kinds of Jellies and bake, which I failed that one, lol but she taught her daughter Norma Jean and like her mom Norma can always whip up something very good along with dessert, you see a lot of that in her, she definitely knows her way around any kitchen! I have always admired the two of them every Christmas making cookies together and sew many varieties, totally amazing and very yummy!Sometimes it would take them several days because some doughs would have to be refrigerated for a day or two , but when done they had plates of cookies for friends, family and neighbors!
Sew many wonderful memories of her that I will take to my grave with me, but she is no longer in pain and she is now with her husband as well as mine her son! Rest in peace pretty Lady Elnora M.Whittaker
