She had four grandchildren, Justin and Lauren Sherman and Nick and Rheanna Sanford; an aunt, Martha Moore of Rockville; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Gordon Phelps Jr., U.S. Navy, retired; her brothers and sisters, Edward Smith, William Smith and Lillian Austin; and former husband, Dean J. Sherman, father of her oldest son.

Cremation is scheduled with interment at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, Point Loma Naval Base, San Diego.
