She is survived by her children, Vicki Mowery and husband Paul, Toni Thompson and husband Don, Marla Myers and husband Jeff, and Mike Turner and wife Brandee; sister-in-law, Patsy Owers, all of Orange; grandchildren, Cassi Dillard, Justin Dillard, Jared Thompson and wife Dana, Lindsey Garrett and husband Bryan, Kyle Thompson and wife Whitney, Christian Ferguson and husband Josh, and Brandon Penick; 9 great-grandchildren and nieces.

The family wishes to acknowledge, with grateful appreciation, the love and care provided to their mother by her caregivers, Kindred Hospice, as well as The Meadows of Orange.
