She is survived by her sons Mike Dillard of Tupelo and Dr. Leigh Dillard (Debra) of Mansfield, La., Grandchildren Brian Dillard (Jana) of Basalt Co, Missy Lawrence (Chris) of Grand Cane, La, Krystin Marr of Mansfield, La, Leighton Dillard of Mansfield, La, Forrest Jenkins (Jake) of Oxford, Ms, and Casey Pernell (Jon) of Tupelo
