She is survived by her children; Sharon Fischer, Larry (Donna) Morrow, Judy (Bob) Lamine, David (Jackie) Morrow, Mark Morrow, Kris (John) Thompson, Kelly (Rex) Grzelak, Paul (Shelly) Morrow, and Bob (Marlene) Morrow and a daughter-in-law, Theresa Morrow, 32 grandchildren; 52 great grandchildren; and 34 great great grandchildren.
