She also is survived by brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Don (Carolyn) Hastings, Myrna Hudson and James Gurch; several nieces and nephews; and many friends.
Besides her parents she is predeceased by two siblings, Tom Hudson and Frances Gurch; and brothers-in-law, James Sether, Ted Johnson and J.C. White.
A graveside service at Lynchburg Masonic Cemetery for the immediate family will be scheduled at the convenience of the family, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are in the care of the Turner & Son Funeral Home of Hillsboro.
The family would like to thank the wonderful caregivers of Trinity (especially Nicki and Jennifer) and Sarah and Janay from Hospice.
