JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) – Mia Russell, a crocheter, had a stroke over five years ago that left her dealing with the struggles of life.
Experiences such as being paralyzed in one arm, unable to dress herself, comb her hair and socialize with others regularly dampened her life.
Before her stroke, Russell was ready to conquer the world in the nursing arena. Her love for helping others was genuine and her plans were to further her education and become a registered nurse.
In her spare time, she loved to crochet and was known for her creative designs.
When she was getting ready for work one day, she had no idea that day was the day that would change her life as she knew it forever.
