She was married to Leon Pettigrew for 25 years and to Joe Spears for 25 years, until his passing. After we moved from Lubbock to Fort Worth to Denison, TX, she retired from Citizen's Bank in Denison after 17 years.

My brother and I have been so very blessed to have been adopted by mom and dad when we were just babies. We want to also thank Southern Pointe Living Center and Guardian Hospice for taking such good care of our precious mother. Thank you all, so very much. She was a wonderful woman, and most definitely kept us all loved and laughing. She was our Angel on earth.
