She lovingly raised sons: Pete Odom(Diane), John Paxton(Jan), Phillip Williams, James Buchanan(Angela); daughters: Pat Bass, Phyllis Benjamin(Jim), Mary Tibbetts(Dennis); and had many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren that she adored and loved unconditionally with her whole heart.
