She is survived by her children and their spouses, John and Julie Loughney, Margaret and Blair Olsen, Monica and Tom McGuire, and Mike and Kris Loughney. She is also survived by her grandchildren and great grandchildren Meghan and Jerrett Thomason, Katey Olsen and Joseph Wnorowski (Jacob and Jillian), Cody Olsen, Tommy and Brie McGuire (Colton and Ellison), Kimberly and Andrew Hunter (James), Courtney McGuire, Haley Loughney, Brittney Loughney, and Adam Loughney.

May God comfort and strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow. God will remember those who pass on in death because they are precious in his eyes (John 6:40).
