She is survived by her brother, Manford (Ruthie) Embleton; five daughters, all of Greenwood: Bonnie Yoder, Judi Morgan, Joan (John) Mills, Ronda (Linford) Weber, and Donna (Dale) Jones, with whom she lived; seven grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, as well as many others who just call her their grandma.
Visitation is scheduled for Friday, February 24, 2023 from 6:30-8:30 pm at Greenwood Mennonite Church in Greenwood, Delaware. The celebration of her life will be held at the church on Saturday, February 25, at 2 pm. Burial is private.
