She is survived by her daughters, Judy Sokoloski Ward and Pamela Lemons, Son-in-law Benny Driggers, Special Friend and Co-worker Tammy Garrett, 8 grandkids, and 17 great grandkids. A Special thank you to Kim and Priscilla with Solaris Hospice.
Pallbearers will be: Marcus Kerr, Chris Driggers, Austin McFarland, Josh Prinz and Harry Gurney.
