The apples of her eye were all of her grandchildren: Blake (Taylor) Bowling, Dakota (Haley) Richardson, Paige (Connor) Holland, Brierre Bowling, Lexi Grace Richardson, and William Frederick Born; great grandchildren: Crosby Grey Bowling, Dempsey Connor Holland, Vivianne Poppy Holland, and Eli Jayce Richardson.
She is also survived by a host of beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family who will miss her sweet smile and quick humor.
