Fyock III and Chloey Fyock; one great-granddaughter, Serena Brown; one brother, James Little of Florida; and two sisters, Cathy (Daryl) Lettie of Porter and Charlotte Miller of DuBois.
She was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, Howard, Charles and Samuel Little; two sisters, Betty Cressley and Susan Merryman.
Friends will be received from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, at Shumaker Funeral Home, Inc., Big Run. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. at the funeral home.
