She is survived by her husband, Earl, of the home; son Robert Capp and wife, Jacqueline; two sisters, Connie Jo Wright and husband, Hank and Karen Bales and husband, Larry; six grandchildren, Kyrsten Collins and husband, James, Kelton, Kylin, Jazmin, Aurora and Anastasia; and three great-grandchildren, Alailah, Raelynne and Ryder.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 5 to 9 p.m., Friday, Nov. 17, 2023, at the Schneider Funeral Home and Crematory, Pleasanton Chapel. The family suggests contributions to The American Cancer Society and may be sent in care of the funeral home to P.O.
