Mabel's creativity and her faith in God helped her to maintain a hopeful disposition over the final years of her life. She was a devoted wife and mate.

Mabel's career as a bilingual loss mitigation specialist brought her much joy. She loved helping clients keep their homes. The only thing she loved more than her family was children. Mabel would do anything within her power to help a child in need. If you would like to honor her memory you could make a donation to any charity for children or your local women's shelter.
