She leaves behind her sons, Mike (Tammy) Ailes, Chris (Rosemary) Ailes, Tim (Karmen) Ailes, daughter Kathy Burns, her sisters Rita Hough, and Diane (Steve) Jenkins, several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

She was a member of First Community Church of Matthews, IN. She enjoyed the fellowship and friendliness of the other members. We would like to thank Pastor Thomas Stone and the church family for their love, support, and prayers.

There will be a private family service and she will be interred at Elizabethtown Cemetery.
