Beloved mother, nana, great-nana, sister, daughter, aunt and friend, passed peacefully, surrounded by her children, on July 3, 2025, after losing her battle with Alzheimer's/Dementia. While she forgot many things, she never forgot her family.

She is survived by her children, Clayton (Terri), Christine (Brian) and Carrie (Scott); grandchildren, Krystal, Megan, Courtney, Ashley, Cole. Conner, Jenna, Ellie, Abby, and Anna; great-grandchildren, Charlei, Hazel, Everly, Marbree, Braxton, Fletcher, Rowan; many nieces and nephews; and siblings, Carl, Janice, Dahl, Boyce, Penny, and Polly. She was loved by many and will be missed by her beloved cat Zoe.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Marbry, father, Carl, brothers, Kerry, Shane and Dennis, and sister, Judy. 

We are grateful for the staff at Eagle Crest, who loved her to the end, the amazing palliative nurses and doctors at Gunderson, and the nurses at Bethany St. Joseph's.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Eagle Crest memory care or Alzheimer's Association.
