Additionally, she was intricate part of the Carthage Women’s Club for 60 years.  She also volunteered with the American Red Cross working with the local Bloodmobile for over 50 years. In her spare time, she loved gardening and tending to her beautiful yard which brought joy to her and others.

In addition to her parents and husband Bill she was preceded in death by a daughter Bonnie Jean Horne and her siblings; Hoover Fields, Florence Fields, Carrie Lee Barker, and Frances Stutts; she was also preceded in death by her sons-in-law, Cary Phillips, Jeff Myrick, and Tony Byrd.

She is survived by three daughters Alice Byrd, Linda Myrick and Joyce Phillips all of Carthage and her grandsons, Scott Horne, Heath Myrick, Jason Myrick and Nathan Phillips.
