She was a proud member of Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri. Above all, she loved her family. She was devoted, strong, and loyal. To know her was to be loved deeply, fiercely and wholeheartedly.

She is survived by one son: Brian Cole of Poplar Bluff, MO; two grandchildren: Corra White and Haley McColl; one great-grandchild: Richard Whelchel; two brothers: Mark (Kim) Barr of Wichita, KS and Jim (Danielle) Barr, Albuquerque, NM; and one stepsister: Tonya Cryer of Poplar Bluff, MO.
