She is also survived by her sisters, Peggy (Ricky) Moxley and Judy Comer, and her brother, Jackie (Barbara) Jester, all of whom will cherish her memory and carry her love forward. Those who knew her will remember her kind spirit, strength, humor, and faith, and the legacy she leaves through her family is her most treasured accomplishment.
