She is survived by daughter Molly McNair and her husband, Kelly, of Fort Worth; daughter Katie Mitchell and her husband, Brad, of Black Flat; and son Patrick Williams and his wife, Lori, of Canyon. She will forever be remembered as a feisty and funny 'Granny' by her six grandsons: James Mitchell and wife, Lindsay, of Scotland; Martin McNair and wife, Dawn, of Willow Park; William Mitchell of Houston; and Stephen Williams, Shawn Williams, and Sam Williams of Canyon. She also leaves behind two treasured great-grandsons, Jack Robert Mitchell of Scotland and Morgan Andrew McNair of Willow Park. Additionally she is survived by her eldest sister, Frances Copeland of Olney, and sisters-in-law Nevelyn Alexander of Bryan, Corene Williams of Holliday, and Mary Beth Newman of McPherson, Kansas; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
The family extends their appreciation for the level of care given by the staffs of House of Hope, and Hospice of Wichita Falls.
