She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Carvin Beard, Sr.; one son, Tommy Charles Beard Sr.; one daughter, Etta Mae, two sisters, Bernice Crutchfield and Henrietta Davis; three brothers, Loftin, Ulysses and Frank Jackson, and two very devoted daughters-in-law, Ver-netta and Ann Beard.
