Her husband and children would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to

care rendered to their loved one during her illness. The family especially 
appreciated the many visits and prayers by Legacy's chaplain, Deanna Corbett. 

Pallbearers will be grandsons Mike Nappier, Greg Nappier, Chris Nappier, Tommy 
Semmes III, Seth Staples, Caleb Staples, and great grandson Storm Nappier.

Honorary pallbearers will be her sons-in-law James H. Nappier and Alvin
