She leaves to cherish her beautiful memory her two loving daughters, Mrs. Tashie Haddad and Dr. Arease Edison; her devoted sons-in-law, Mr. Jameil Haddad and Mr. Gregory Edison; and her precious grandchildren, Isaiah, Niyah, Alysah, and Kaleb, who brought her endless joy and pride.

She is also lovingly remembered by her brother, Mr. Sam Wheeler, and sister, Ms. Pam Wheeler; her nephews, Mr. Randy Wheeler and Mr. Sam Wheeler Jr.; her nieces, Ms. Chanella Moses, Ms. Karla Moses, and Mrs. Rachelle Martin-Smith — her loving niece who cared for her faithfully until she transitioned.
