She was a loving mother to her daughters Breanne Gannaway and Kelyna Wayton, and adored her granddaughter Troian Wayton. She is loved and missed by so many people who were in her life.

Throughout her life she was involved in many non-profit service organizations from when she was a young lady in the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, to adulthood when she joined the Order of the Eastern Star and the Social Order of the Beauceant. She graduated from Pasadena High School and went on to receive a BA in Mathematics in 1974 from the University of Texas at Austin.

The year after she graduated, on October 18th, 1975, she married Bob, and then in 1988 welcomed her first child, Breanne. They all welcomed Kelyna in 1995, and Troian in 2022.
