She is survived by two sons, Mike and Jeff; three brothers, Bud, Bill and Jack; four grandchildren, Andy, Robben, Lori, and Chris; and six great-grandchildren.

Friends may pay their respects at Weatherford Mortuary on Sunday, May 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The funeral will be held on Monday, May 13, in the chapel of Oak Ridge Memorial Park at 1 p.m. with Rev. Andy Henderson officiating, and the burial will follow in the Garden of the Good Shepherd.

The family asks that any memorials be made to a charity of the donor’s choice in her memory.
