Patten (Timothy), Jennifer Chance and Pam Talley; great nephews, Seamus Martin, Preston, Jared and Jesse Chance and a great niece, Brandi Talley.

The family would like to say a special word of thanks to her dear friends, Martha Hatcher, Beth Broome, Teresa Lord, and Merilyn Hughes who have been a support for her since her paralyzing stroke in 2008. They would also like to thank the staff at Ridge Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Edgefield for the care they provided; the doctors and nurses at University Hospital who treated her after her stroke and fought to save her 10 years later.
