She loved nothing more than seeing all of their eager smiling faces as she continued to “practice” perfecting all the culinary delights she prepared for them and her many friends. Mama lived and loved life to its fullest until the very end. Cleo is preceded in death by her daughter Karen Denise Cary, son Robert “Bob” James Quinton, her parents, 5 brothers and 3 sisters.
