She was lovingly called “Nana” by her grandchildren, Corrie (Michael) Malphrus, Adam Lowe and fiancé, Megan Steed; Parker Adams, and Paxton Adams, and by her great-grandchildren, Michael Hollis and Connor Adam Malphrus. She is also survived by her brother Bobby Jackson (Mary), and many nieces and nephews.
A celebration of her life will be held Saturday morning, January 25, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. in the Arlington Baptist Church with Dr. Gary Hadden and Rev. Ric Veal officiating. The family will receive friends for visitation one hour prior to the service beginning at 10 a.m. in the Social Hall of the church. Burial will follow in the Leary Cemetery.
Serving as pallbearers are Hank Jester, Will Jester, Mike Newberry, Tony Smith, Mike Stuart, Richard Ward, Mike Williams, Mickey White and Larry Worsley. Honorary pallbearers are Butch Kaminsky and the Ike Newberry Sunday School class.
