She loved to go antiquing and to read a good book. She owned a greenhouse which led her to be able to use her green thumb. She loved her bunco club, and had a great time with her bunco girls. She was a part of the WMU club, and was a member of New Salem Baptist Church.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Florence Edwards; Alvie Bruner; sister, Betty J. Lamont; two sons, Mike Bruner, and Scott Bruner.
