She is survived by her daughters, Betty Stolte Bruton and Peggy McCaskill Foerster; sons-in-law, Tony Bruton and Paul Foerster; grandchildren, Scott McCaskill and wife, Heather, Robert Hugh Bruton, Cristin Lea McCaskill, and Elizabeth Aubrey Bruton; step grandchildren, Jill Foerster Clark and husband Reverend Bill Clark, David Foerster, Holly Foerster Kramaley and husband Nick. Step greatgrandchildren are Christopher, Annie, and Sam Clark. She is also survived by her brothers-in-law, Hugo C.
