Mrs. McNabney was a proud homemaker and as such, she was a loving and devoted wife and mother. She was always involved in her children’s activities, and was a leader of Cass/White Post 4-H, Good News Bible Club, and Girl Scouts. She was active in the Pulaski County community and was a member of Bethel Bible Church and Aim High Extension Homemakers Club. She also taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. She was a talented pianist and loved the old hymns. She enjoyed cooking and baking - whether it was for her family or friends. She shared God’s grace in many ways; a meal brought to your home, a word of encouragement, or a shared prayer. She loved her family very much, especially her grandchildren. She will be dearly missed.
