After she retired from Emerson Electric in Ava, she took up farming and taking care of grandchildren. They were her joy, and she especially enjoyed spending afternoons with them skipping rocks at the creek. She also enjoyed the companionship of her long-haired chihuahua, Bear Bear.

She is survived by four sons, Tim Twitty and fiancee Kim, and Greg Twitty, all of Wasola, Roger Twitty and wife Rhonda of Forsyth, and Joe Twitty and wife Elaine of Pascagoula, Miss-issippi; and many other relatives and friends.
