She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Tina Brock Tucker; her parents, Howard Marcus Smallan Jr. and Margaret Louise Byrd Smallan; her brother, Jerry Smallan; her sister, Glenda Smallan Williams; brother-in-law, Randy Brock and a nephew, Josh Brock.

Marc Williams, and Bowden Brock, along with many extended family members and dear friends.
