She is survived by her children, Keith Shuemake and Diane Hasley; grandchildren, Darrin Hasley, Holly Rawlinson, Derek Hasley, Danielle Hasley and Paige Woods. She was always proud to tell people that she was blessed with 14 great grandchildren.  She made cherished friends every where she would go in life.
