For the last 11 years she lived with and was cared for by Sherry and Gerard Donovan, her daughter and son-in-law, both of whom survive her. She is also survived by her sons Travis, Cal and Clint Mathis; as well as her best friend and traveling companion Betty Braughton; and a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.
