She leaves her loving memories to be cherished by her husband, Clyde Shoaf; daughters, Vickie Commesso and Bonnie Davisson, all of New Castle; stepson, Ron Britton of California; loving grandchildren, Shannon Lear, Amy Abruzere, Kiley Commesso, Haleigh Davisson, and Dylan Davisson; and five great-grandchildren.
