She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, daughter-Cathy Ray, granddaughter-Sarah Emory, siblings, Jack, Karen and Judith, as well as long time companion, Lowell Bree.
Mrs. LaFary enjoyed bowling, painting ceramics, yard sales and antiquing. For many years, she could be found on the Spoon River Drive, selling her ceramics. Her greatest joy came from family, especially when she could spend time with Blake and Carison.
