Melvina “Pug” Baldwin, 86, passed on Feb 13, 2020. She was born March 20, 1933, in Oklahoma and was known to everyone as “Pug”,a nickname given to her by her Dad because of her pug nose at birth.

She loved her family including all our dogs and the Broncos (the Broncos were pretty high on the love list). That’s why Pug will be buried with her Bronco’s shirt she got for her last Christmas.
