She is survived by her son Johnny Havard and his wife Stephanie of Ferriday, her daughter Shelley Poole and husband Jerry of Maryville, Tennessee, and her daughter Julie Lafferty of Denver Colorado. She was blessed with 9 grandchildren, all named in order, Joshua (Catyh), Jessie (Heather), Jacob (deceased), Jeremy (Jessica), Trey (Aly), Jared (Savannah), Kristen, Justin and Shianne; and 10 great-grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed but she is finally reunited with her husband John and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
