Her two daughters Kellie and Heather posted this note on Facebook:

"Our mother was a regal woman who persevered through through trial, tribulation and sickness unscathed. Therefore, we're honoring her legacy by wearing purple (royalty) and platinum (precious and enduring) during her celebration. We invite you to join us at her Celebration of Life if you're able. If not, please consider wearing purple and platinum on Saturday, April 8, 2017 in remembrance of her."
