This carved a special place in her heart for the beauty of nature and provided her with a peaceful retreat that she often shared with her family.

She is survived by her sons LaVerne Hatch of Arkansas and Bruce (Ann) Hatch of Marathon, who cherished her guidance and unwavering support throughout their lives. Her legacy continues through her adoring grandchildren, Amanda (Terry) Little of Philadelphia, PA, and Stefanie Courtney of Virgil, along with her great-grandchildren: Carter, Collette, Clover, and Cruz Courtney, and Louise Little, who brought her immense joy and fulfillment.
