Her daughter Carol Annn wrote 04/04/23:

My mother passed at around 6:45 this morning. My husband and I were with her. Thank you all for your support and prayers.

As far as arrangements, she had requested cremation. I’m told not to plan anything until I know when her ashes will be returned to me which could be five to 10 days. I will most likely take them to El Dorado and spread them near my grandparents. We have family there. I will let you all know what we decide about a memorial service/celebration of life.

In lieu of flowers, we request that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
