In addition, she was an avid Tennessee Titans and Tennessee Volunteers fan. Although she had many loves and interests in her life, nothing compared to the love she had for her dogs, or as she called them her "three girls" (Nestlee, Jordan and Boccardi).

In addition to her husband, she left behind to cherish her memory her brother David (Mary Jane) Hood of Columbia, TN; her sister, Jean Ann (Troy) Wilson of Columbia, TN; two nieces, five nephews, and a host of friends.
