Her friends and family were amazed at her ability to remember, names, birthdays, and historic information on almost everyone. She was kind and generous to all and was a strong Christian with an unwavering faith.

She is survived by her daughter Ann Hicks and husband Jason of Katy, TX. Four grandchildren; one great-grandchild; two brothers, Gene and Clint Thrasher; and two sisters-in-law, Jane and Janice.

She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Gary Thrasher.
