She was an active member of Epworth United Methodist Church, where she was involved with visiting shut-in church members, singing in the choir, and helping out in any way she could.
She is survived by her children: Mitchell (Penny) Jackson of Florence, Jan (Tim) O'Neal of Darlington and Garry (Pam) Jackson of Hartsville, six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren; her siblings, Judy (Leon) Stokes of Darlington, Michael (Lori) Sullivan of Florence and Ricky (Ruby) Sullivan of Greenwood.
