She will be dearly missed by her sisters, Mikki Guffey and Jean Mews, nieces Shannon Barnes (Andy) and Ashley Timer (Miguel Martinez), great nephew Tyler Jones, and great niece Dezaree Timer, along with extended family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Gene Stancill, her parents, sisters Sharon and Dawn Mews, and great nephew, Dillan Guy.
