In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her spouse, Ray Searcy; siblings, James Hopson, Dora Parton, Annie Mae Spillars, Burgan Hopson, and Jessie Hopson; and grandchildren, Ricky White, Virginia Haney, and Michael Haney.

 Surviving are her children: Daisy White and her husband, Don Laws, Betty White and her husband James, Nancy Frady, and Randy Frady; eight grandchildren; twenty-four great-grandchildren; and fifteen great-great-grandchildren. A funeral will be held at 3 PM on Friday, March 21, 2025, in the chapel of Victory Baptist Church, with the family receiving friends two hours prior. Rev. Robert Haney will officiate. After the service, the family will receive friends at 2267 Highway 70 in Swannanoa. All are Welcome.
