As well as four brothers.
In addition to her husband, John, she is survived by five daughters: Gwen Suddeth (Troy), Wilma Thompson (Dale), Zenith Barnett (Ed), Lorraine Shiver (Ronnie, deceased), Rita Massey and one brother, Dean Abernathy. She is also survived by eleven grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, five great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
