Graveside services will be at 11 a.m. Monday in Lieb Cemetery near Morse with Zeb Sailors officiating. Arrangements are by Minton/Chatwell Funeral Directors of Borger.

They lived in Stinnett until 1996, when they moved to Amarillo so she could be close to her sister. Lee preceded her in death in 2001. She was a member of Stinnett Church of Christ and Bell Avenue Church of Christ in Amarillo.

The family wishes to send special thanks to Wanda Gruver, Kirkland Court and Odyssey Hospice.
