She also was preceded in death by her husband, William Reginald "Wink" Redman on April 5, 2011; a brother, Stewart "Stutz" Twyman, Sr. and a godson and nephew who was like a grandson to her, Todd Twyman.
Mrs. Redman was employed as a child care worker for many years and was a member of the Janes United Methodist Church, Keyser. She was named the Valentine Queen at Moran Manor in in February of 2023. She was an avid baker and was known especially for her delicious pies. She also enjoyed watching Turner Classic movies and old Westerns and faithful each in reading her Bible and devotions. Also, in her later years, she became fond and very adept in adult coloring books until her arthritis forced her to give that up.

"Bill" Redman of Keyser; grandchildren, Shannon Jarman and husband Eddie and their children, Miles, Sara and Evan of Silver Spring, MD and Scott Redman and wife Donna and their children, Megan and Tod of Ruther Glen, VA; a special nephew, Stewart "Teddy" Twyman and his wife Diane and daughter, Tonya, of Keyser; a sister-in-law, Edna Fisher and her children and grandchildren of Columbus, OH and extended family members of the Brooks and Washington families.
