Don Bearden and wife Doris of Breckenridge, Texas; brother, Harlon Don Whitley and wife Barbara of Clifton; sister, Barbara Vinson and husband Donald Lee; and sister-in-law Sue Bearden of Aurora, Colorado.
Her family would like to thank the staff of Clifton Sunset Home for their tender care while she was there for re-habilitation as well as the nursing staff of Goodall-Witcher Hospital and Sunset Hospice who cared for her when she became ill. “Words are not enough to express our gratitude for the tenderness and love shown to all of us in her last days with us.”
