Survivors include her son, Derek Marshall; daughter, Jenae Hardy; son-in-law, Eric Hardy; grandchildren, Justin and Victoria Hardy, and grand dog, Brady.

The Family would like to extend a special thank you to Myra Freeman, her friend and caregiver; all of her doctors, and the staff at River Bridge Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Parkway Baptist Church or Natchez- Adams County Humane Society.
