She was the loving mother of 4 children, Mark Semmelmayer of Marietta, GA, Mary Jo Semmelmayer of Citrus Heights, CA, Steven Semmelmayer of Corona del Mar, CA and Eric Semmelmayer of Pleasanton, CA. Her children survive her and had the privilege of being with her at the end.

She will be missed by many, starting with her good friend, Lucinda Johnson and others too numerous to name.
