She is also survived by her grandchildren Heather Hartwick, Meghan Knotts, Shelbey Kirkland, Dylan Read, and Annie Rushing as well as 3 1/2 precious great grandbabies.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, March 13 at 10:00 a.m. in Colonial Chapel of Sullivan Funeral Home. The family will receive friends for a time of visitation one hour prior to the service.

We, the family, would like to take the opportunity to thank Sullivan's Funeral Home for their kindness and help during these final preparations. Also our thanks for the amazing staff and care our mother received at Magnolia Place Wellness and Rehabilitation in Jefferson, TX and Heart to Heart Hospice care. Great kindness and care was shown by everyone in these organizations.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you donate in her name to your local church or to St Jude's Children's Hospital.
