In addition to her husbands and parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Dale Allen and her brother, Jim "Mousey" Matlock.

Survivors include her two daughters, Sharon Allen Austin and her husband Ron, Debbie Copeland and her husband Steve of Rogers; five grandchildren, Seth and Calah Copeland of Rogers, Jeff Austin of Siloam Springs, Brett Austin and his wife Stephanie of North Carolina, Tina Arnold and her husband of Colcord, Okla., and seven great-grandchildren, Gage, Faith, Roman, Isaac, Isabel, Dillion, Billy and a host of family and friends.
