She enjoyed fishing with Uncle Pete, and was a very talented artist and seamstress.

She had numerous friends and patrons through her many years of serving as a rural mail carrier and went above and beyond to make them happy.

She is survived by a sister June Stephenson of Brazoria, Texas; two step sons, Marty and Charles Kulbeth and families; a niece and her family that she considered her own, Toni Person and her children Jonathan and Becca Greenwood and son, J.B. of the Valley Community, Sgt. Bobby L. Person and wife Meagan of Okinawa, Japan, Jodi Person and fianc� Jonathan Ash and children, Jayce-Allen and Josi Ash of Monticello, and Bradi Shirey of Monticello; and numerous generations of nieces and nephews that she loved dearly.
