Ragland Sr.; daughter June Ragland Mann, son Joe A. Ragland Jr. and wife Lynda; sister Mary Ann Garrett and brother, Sam Cale Allen.
She was known for her love of God and his creation, demonstrating this in her flair for gardening, cooking, love of the ocean, travel, photography and her nurturing of her family and all those whose lives she touched. Until her last days, she continued to ask to be taken to where she could see the birds landing in her bird bath and the flowers in her garden. She always thanked the Lord in her prayers at family meals for the gift of life and the gift of one another.
