She was born on April 28, 1963, in Frankfurt, Germany to Ronald and Inez Humphreys.
In 1981 she married her high school sweetheart, Billy Ward. They had two daughters, Shasta and Shiana. She was the best wife and mother anyone could ask for. Together they attended Cedar Creek Church of God and spent many years teaching Sunday School.
She was employed at American Greetings for 44 years. Her favorite pastimes were running the road with her honey and spoiling Benly, Aubrey, and Katie. Being their Memaw/MeMe was her dearest title.
She always had a smile on her face.

Pallbearers will be: Richie Humphreys, Chris Ricker, BJ Stewart, Cody Morgan, Benly Stewart, Logan Ricker and Heath Ricker.

At the request of her granddaughter, the family asks everyone to wear colorful clothing to celebrate Memaw’s life.
