She was preceded in death by an infant son, Joshua Alan; her parents; and her brother, Bobby Alford.

She is survived by her husband, Don Southern of May; two sons, Montie and Sherri Southern of San Antonio and Jeffery Southern of Tow; three grandchildren, Blake Southern of Giddings, Kyle Southern of Lampasas and Corbett Southern of Millsap; a sister-in-law, Loma Lynn Alford of Brownwood; niece, Pamela Greer and husband Scott of Zephyr; nephews, Danny Alford and wife Shea of Midland and Jody Alford and wife Sheryl of Pensacola, Florida.
