She is also survived by nieces and nephews, Frances Izard, Maxine Lawhorn, Carolyn, Dortha Ann, Troy Max, Nina, Sue, and Bobbie Ray. There are numerous other nieces and nephews by marriage who loved her very much.

Later in life, in her second marriage, she gained a bonus son, Rob Robertson (Sheryl) and bonus grandchildren, Will and Megan Robertson, all of McKinney, Texas. The Robertson family also brought her even more nieces and nephews, and brothers and sisters-in-law to love and be loved by.

For most of her young adult years, she and Troy lived in Rome, Georgia where she was secretary to the headmaster and admissions office manager of Berry Academy. She worked there from 1964 until her retirement when they moved back to Arkansas. She was a devout member of Mt. Paron Primitive Baptist Church where she served for many years as the clerk.
