She was a loving wife and mother to two daughters, Vickie Stanley (Darrell) Sumner, MO and Debbie Keyte (Terry) Clinton, MO. She was blessed with five grandchildren, Tim Stanley of Sumner, MO, Kelly Stanley Hawkins of Hale, MO, Mike Stewart and Tracy Keyte of Clinton, MO and Tony Keyte (Kerri) of Pleasant Hill, IA.

She is survived by her sister Sue Shields of Bosworth, MO, her brother Eldon George and wife Carol of Lexington, MO and her sister-in-law Beverly George of Marceline, MO and 14 nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her two brothers Richard and Robert, two sisters and their husbands Jean Burch (Wesley) and Francis Gordon (Howard) and her brother-in-law Sherman Shields.
