She was preceded in death by her husband, Snyder William Little; son, Billy Little; and beloved sister, Lorene Prather Batson.

Funeral services are scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, December 10, 2015 at Refuge Baptist Church with Reverend Larry Johnson and Reverend Carter Payne officiating.  Interment will follow in the church cemetery.  Pallbearers are Jeremy Chumley, Jody Dowda, Rick Grant, Bob Nix, Bob O’Neal, and James Prather.
