Mrs. Jordan loved her family and her friends, and was particularly proud of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Always kind and gracious, she had many friends, and never had an unkind word to say about anyone. She loved to be active and while her last years proved to be difficult she received excellent care from the nursing staff at the Meridian Retirement Health Center and Vista Care Hospice. Although a lifelong Baptist, she attended Grace Presbyterian Church in Temple.

She was also preceded in death by her parents, five brothers and one sister. Survivors include two loving sons and daughters-in-law; Mike and Sally Jordan of Temple; Scott and Paula Jordan of Belton; four grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, four nieces and three nephews.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to Grace Presbyterian Church of Temple, the Alzheimer's Association or a charity of your choice.
