Upon retirement she lived in assisted living in Tucson, Arizona and Waynesboro, Tennessee. She passed after a residency of two and a half years at Perry County Nursing Home.
She is survived by her little sister, Janelle Brown (Mrs. Kennedy Brown), now of Tupelo, Mississippi, and several nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death were her parents, a sister, and two brothers.
