She began working for the State of Texas in 2010 and continued until she became ill. While there she met a few lifelong friends whom she adored and referred to as family.

She has been a shoulder to lean on, counselor, confidant, friend and so much more to so many. She will be missed for her spunk, sense of humor, storytelling ability, and the genuine love she showered all those around her with.

She was proceeded in death by her father Johnnie Newell, sister Farris Jennings, and niece Sharnee Newell.
