TEMPLE — After the passing of their great-grandma, Loraine Mundy Stewart, her son and great grand daughter, Skylar Stewart began to cook up a plan to honor her memory and keep her loving spirit alive.

In 2012, Granny's Shaved Ice of Temple began humbly aside the road in Holland, Texas, after Skylar and her grandfather invested the small inheritance given to them after great-grand mother Loraine's passing.
