Her survivors include: daughter, Leigh (Jim) Cox; granddaughter, McKinsey (Geoff) Franklin; great grandson, Crawford Franklin; brother, Howard (Jean) Clonts; sister Sara (Billy) Teal; stepdaughters, Melissa (Dave) Brown, Debbie Rives; one grandson, Nicholas Brown; numerous nieces, nephews and Monta Honeycutt (former daughter in-law). Her love for Christ and her family were immeasurable. Her faith kept her going through each obstacle she faced in life. As the angels carried her home she was at peace. 

She made many lasting friendships through the years at the hospital.  Her biggest complaint as she got older is she could no longer wear her high heel shoes.
