Her joyous homegoing leaves her daughters and sons-in-law: Susan and Pat Craver, Kathy and Robert Allen, and Sarah and Nelson Gardner, with precious memories and the knowledge that they will be with her again one day. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren: Mary Kathryn Patterson, Elizabeth Pinard, Will Allen, Edward Craver, Wes Allen, Cassie Mayberry, and Maddie Gardner; ten great-grandchildren; and her sisters-in-law: Colleen Marion, Peggy Midkiff, and Carol Mills.
