As a farmer's wife, she was an excellent cook, seamstress, gardener, rattlesnake killer, and prize-winning quilter producing over 200 hand-quilted quilts.

Preceded in death by siblings B.C. Black, Jean Edwards, Sue Pace, Anne Kittrell, she is survived by siblings Bob, Jon, and David Black, as well as three sons, Paul (Laura) of Swan Creek, James (June) of Centerville, and David (Renee) of Smyrna. She leaves six grandchildren, Jera (Eddie) Petrowski, Jana (James) Aydelott-Yarbrough, Jonathan (Misty) Aydelott, Alan Aydelott, Katherine and Meredith Aydelott, seven great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and countless nieces and nephews.

Graveside service was held on Friday, March 31, at the Campground Cemetery on Swan Creek. Her long-time minister and friend, Joe Griner of Hohenwald, and close friend, Donald Duncan, of Hohenwald, conducted the service as she was laid to rest beside her beloved husband.
