In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Walter Ray Curtis; and by siblings, Lewis “Bud” Dorsett, Donald Dorsett and Vivian Barnett.

Survivors include two daughters, Karen Hedgelon (Butch) and Allison Cape; three grandchildren Steve Carter (Patricia); Brad Helbing (Lauren); and Erin Helbing (Adam); four great-grandchildren, Randy Carter, Maddox Helbing, Amelia Helbing and Olivia Helbing.
