She is survived by her daughters, Stacy Thompson and husband Dan, Kristie Holzworth, and Lara Dinkla and husband Gerrit; her son, Kevin Phipps; her grandchildren, Natalie Thompson, Jonathan Thompson, Dharma Dinkla, Alyssa Holzworth, and Hadley Dinkla; and her cousins, Nancy Jackson and Bessie Whitten.
