She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Sessamie absolutely adored her children and grandchildren and spoiled them often. She loved traveling to casinos and gambling with her sister, and every Sunday during football season you would find her alongside her husband and family cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. She truly devoted her life to her family, and we will forever miss her. Sessamie always lit up the room with her smile and brought joy to every occasion. She was the kindest, most generous person and was loved by all.
