She is survived by her children, Richard (Paula) Wright, Cathleen Ousley and Holly (Edward) Jones; nine grandchildren, Blake, Stephanie, Nathan, Brandon, Eddie, Benjamin, Daniel, Adam and Max; four great-grandchildren, Cameron, Alyssa, Jacob and Mara; and sister, Patricia Beecher. Percy was also preceded in death by daughter, Sandra Pressel; sister, Ardena; and sons-in-law, Michael Owen, Gary Ousley and Frank Pressel.
