This eulogy is a tribute to my grandma, who passed away in 1996. I never did have the privilege to meet her, but her memory will always be in my mind and heart.
My mom always told me that I would have been extremely close to my grandma, and I understand why through the stories my mom shares with me. My grandma was an avid sports fan, especially when it came to ASU. She could out-talk anyone, male or female, with her statistics, standings, and facts on sports. She had season tickets to every ASU game and blamed every ASU loss on the referee. My grandma was also a very loving person, which at times got her in trouble. Her younger brother, John, was being bullied at school by another boy. My grandma walked to school with John, found the boy, and completely beat him up and knocked him down a hill. The boy never bothered John again. The other stories I hear of my grandma show that she was strong-willed, fun, social, and caring.
I wish I had the opportunity to meet this incredible woman, but she will always be in my heart.
