Her last pastimes were going to garage sales, playing bingo, and cards.

She is survived by her three daughters; Lorraine (Terry) Neuman of Hamilton, Montana, KiAnna (Larry) Oswald of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Artiss (David) Rollheiser of Rupert, Idaho. Also, her ten grandchildren: Mike Sigglin, Matt Sigglin, Kimberly Jackson, Dan May, Gabe Rollheiser, Travis Oswald, Samantha Pena, Brandon Oswald, and Cory Oswald.
