She was preceded in death by her mother, Paula Leyba, son, Arnold, and daughter, Thelma.

The Rosary was held Saturday, Jan. 13, at Infant Jesus of Prague Catholic Church followed by the Mass of Christian Burial, celebrated by Father James Aboyi. Interment was at Fairview Cemetery in Superior.

Griffith Mortuary assisted the family with arrangements.
