She watches over the ways of her household; her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also praises her; many daughters have done well, but you excel them all.”

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dewey Hegwood and Wessie Glisson Hegwood; her brothers, I.M. Hegwood and  H.W. Hegwood; and her sisters, Inita Martin and Letty Pearl Howell.
