She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Woodway. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend who always had a kind word and warm heart toward everyone. She will be dearly missed.
She is survived by a son, Mark Chamberlain of Atlanta, Ga.; two daughters, Barbara Welton and husband Kelly of Santa Clarita, Ca., and Cheryl Holy and husband Ron of Woodway; three grandchildren, David Holy and Jordan Holy, both of Woodway, and Meredith Clarke and husband Mike of Palm Springs, Ca.; a great-granddaughter, Cassidy Clarke; her sister Lynn Locke of Tulsa, Ok. and brother Ron Novotny and his wife Mary of Phoenix, Az..
