She was a member of Herminie United Methodist Church and ladies fellowship group, and also AARP. Surviving are her husband, William; and loving daughter, Tracy, of Jeannette. Of all the gifts ever received, however great or small, to have had her grandchildren was the greatest gift of all.

They were all different, oldest to youngest, "so special." She told them, keep your nose clean, be kind to others, and always work as hard as you can to get a job well done. She was preceded in death by loving daughter, Laura V. Peddicord; and grandson, Michael A. Peddicord, "her special angel," whom she missed daily.
