On August 23, 2020 Mom joined our Dad, Floyd "Bud" Beard in Heaven. Also meeting her as she arrived were her parents, Joe and Ola Mae Copeland; sister, Dorothy Smith; brothers, Donnie and Joe Copeland Jr. and grandson Tommy Black.
She is survived by her children, Linda Drozda (Peter), Phyllis Sauls (Dale), Kathy Crafton (Rick), Steve Beard (Cynthia) and Bobby Beard (Carol) who all adored her; sister, Betty Campbell; grandchildren, Melanie and David Beard, Jessica Sauls, Holley Wall, Tracy Petrella and Rebecca Ankeney; great grandchildren Ragan and Olivia Wall, Parker Beard, Devon and Danielle Ankeney and Marty and Wiesh.
Mother's life revolved around her family and her church and she will be dearly missed but Heaven will be a happier place.
The family will receive friends from 12 pm- 1:00pm Thursday at Morgan Funeral Chapel.
