Ms. Howard was a member of the Midland Valley Community Church of the Nazarene. She loved cooking and very much enjoyed eating. She worked for many years in the accounting field and taught Financial Peace classes at church. She started a non profit organization called Retreat Unplugged, where she would do ladies retreats in Florida. She enjoyed that so much. Ms. Howard also enjoyed camping, going to the beach, doing crossword puzzles, playing games and in her later years, flowers. She was a "second" mom to many. She loved spending time with her family, especially enjoyed time with her grandchildren, whom she loved deeply. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched.
