Along with her mother, she is survived by two brothers, Paul David Kenkel of Kelso, Missouri, and Joey Kenkel of Snook, Texas; and by two sisters, Tina Smith of Somerville, Texas and Debbie Gohn of Fruitland, Missouri.

Other than by her husband and father, she was preceded in death by her brother, Tony Kenkel and by her step-father, Tom Carroll.
