Survivors include her children: Larry Jr. (Tiffany) Bebber, Luther Bebber and Vada (Chris) Dahl; ten grandchildren, and one great-grandchild; and many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Bebber in 2012; her father, Willard; sister, Kathy Jangula; and other relatives and friends.
