She took great pride in her role as a grandmother to her four grandchildren, Levi, Liza, and Livie Vaden and Charles Trax, who were sources of joy and inspiration throughout her life. Additionally, she is survived by her brother Alexander Byers and her sisters, Jennie Fulkerson, Andrea Johnson, and Janey LaRue, who will all hold her memory close to their hearts.
