Now let’s get to the little loves of her life. The eldest and most perfect of them all is Norma Hudson and her husband Billy.  She has a handsome son, LaFrance Bennett and wife Laura. She has a standup comedian as a daughter many of you may know , Shannon Bennett.  She has a daughter that has stood by her side through these last complicated years and cared for her so lovingly Charrish and her husband LeGrand Welch that we think may qualify for sainthood. The baby boy Cullen Bennett and his wife Amanda.  Grandchildren William, Lori, Thres, Maggie, Landon, Rainee, Shelley, Jacob, Eden, Layla, Isaac, Liza, Johnathan, Dallas, Gage, and Blakely and many great grands will miss her.
