She loved her children, as well as her favorite television shows, including murder mysteries, Wheel of Fortune and 48 Hours.

Ferrand, and Matthew Ferrand, all of Florida; a stepson, Bryce Bruggeman of Gilbert; two grandchildren, Paislee and Levi; her parents, Jack and Dawn Herman of Pocahontas; her paternal grandmother, Lucy Herman of Pocahontas; two brothers, John (Keala) Herman of Pocahontas, and Joel (Jennifer) Herman of West Virginia; two sisters, Jill (Andrew) Colborne of Florida, and Jenelle (Shane) McKimmey of Humboldt; as well as nieces, nephews, and other extended family members and friends.
