Pleasant, Trina Davidson (Dave Manard) of Massachusetts, brothers, James (Betty) Malone of Pulaski, sisters, Hattie Mae McConnell of Pulaski, Gaye Hunt of Pulaski, Bonnie (Jimmy) Foster of Pulaski, sister in law, Chris Malone of Pulaski, grandchildren, Eric, Samantha, Tyler, and Lance Davidson, Mattie Walker, Zelvin Clark, Zoey and Lauren Walker, and many “adopted” grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Charles Malone.
