In addition to her husband of 68 years, she was preceded in death by two brothers, J.T. Wash, Jr. and Harold Wash, and one sister, Carrie Mae Smalley.
A celebration of life service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 21 at New Market Baptist Church with Rev. Stanley Sprouse officiating.
The family will receive friends following the service at the church.
Private entombment will be held at Oakbrook Memorial Park Mausoleum.
