She was a member of Eden United Methodist Church. For a short time she worked as a bus aide for Wicomico County Special Needs Schools. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her family, animals, gardening, and her family considered her the best cook in the world. She is survived by step daughter, Sandy Derickson and her husband Jim; step son, Bob Savage and his wife Anna; step grandchildren, Jimmie Derickson and Kris, Regina Brittingham and Frank, and Craig Savage and Ella; step great-grandchildren, Adam Derickson, Elizabeth Brittingham, Lane Brittingham, and Lyra Savage; a sister, Myrtle Truitt; three nephews, Thomas Truitt and Linda, Wayne Truitt and Anne, and Michael Truitt and Jill; a niece, Carol Lewis and Doug; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by Ralph Clayville, Zeke Savage, and Manford Baker.
