Her survivors are her husband of 35 years, Bubba Atkeisson; daughter, Tara Sloan, son-in-law, Chad Sloan, and sons, Michael and Adam. She had one grandson, Isaiah whom she adored. "She was someone I feel privileged to have been blessed with. The most humble, selfless person I have ever met a true inspiration and role model" said daughter, Tara.
