Mona had a heart of gold and was a sweet soul who loved helping any child or elder that needed to be loved. The patience and kindness she had for everyone will be something she will always be remembered for. Before anything she was a loving mother she raised her children and took care of many foster children and loved them as her own. She always made everyone feel loved and made them laugh with her great sense of humor. She loved to bake homemade biscuits, and cook for her children and grandchildren. You could always find her at home sitting at her kitchen table with a cup full of coffee sewing, watching CSI, or YouTube videos. She loved crossword puzzles, playing candy crush, the Denver Broncos and the Wyoming Cowboys. But her most loved passion was to sew, she made star quilts, quilts, aprons, oven mitts, masks, dresses, and powwow regalia. She loved music and liked to listen to Hank Williams Jr, Waylon Jennings, CCR, Billy Currington and George Jones.
