She married the late Derral McKinney in 1945 and to this union four children were born. Two of these children; Arlin Ray McKinney and Darcy Lynn McKinney have preceded their mother in death.

She is survived by two daughters; Brenda Starkey of McKinney, Tx and Jodie Bushnell of Beaumont, Tx, as well as 13 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren.
