Pinkie's family meant the world to her, and she devoted her entire life to them. She always considered everyone family and never met a stranger. She was always thought of as the neighborhood mom and grandma and never treated anyone any different. Her door was always open and she always welcomed you with her huge infectious smile. Anyone that knew her knew she had such a big heart; to know her was to love her. Early in her life she worked as a laborer at P&G, but her greatest accomplishment was being a homemaker. Pinkie was an avid bingo player and loved listening to her family singing gospel music.
