Adventurous in spirit, her travels included boat trips down the Amazon River, hiking through the Rockies, whitewater rafting in Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, and less daring vacations in many other states as well as Washington DC.

She is survived by her children Linda Hufstetler Parker of Ellijay and Chris (Jill) Hufstetler of Clayton Community, Canton Georgia. Also surviving are grandchildren Shane Biddy, Shannon Parker, Davin Hufstetler, David Parker, and Crystal Hufstetler Williams.
