She is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, Edward; three children, Amanda (Brandon) Behie of Bluffton, SC, Robert (Cortney) Schultz of Yelm, WA, and Andrew Schultz of New Florence; seven grandchildren, all of whom brought so much joy to her life, Elaina (Bailey) Kimmel, Tanner and Emma Behie, and Cherish, Micah, and Norah Schultz; three brothers, Randy (Lori), Russell (Carol), and Ralph (Coleen) Bickerstaff; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
