She is also survived by a sister Jane Bell Huggins, sister-in-law Debbie Robertson Bell of Hendersonville and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to say a special thank you to Dr. Robert Moffatt of Asheville, NC for the care and compassion he provided during her illness. The love and support that was shown by so many of her family and friends lifted her spirits and gave her strength. Her strong faith carried her through to the end of her journey and she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
