She retired from Cox's after 18 years of service. She will be most remembered as a very giving person, always wanting you to have something to remember her by and her love to always look nice. Even up to her final days, she wanted to make sure that she was dressed up, makeup on, and accessorized even if it meant she didn't leave her room.

She was proceeded in death by her husband, Ian Shand, her children's father, Gene McAninch, parents, daughter Gay Carol McAninch, son Marlin Carl McAninch, stepchildren, Sherron Kay Boyce and Steven George Shand, brothers, R.V. Price, Jr. and Billy Price and brother-in-law, Weldon Smith.

She is also survived by her sister, Betty P. Smith of Waco, and sisters-in-law, Dorothy Price and Elizabeth Price, and many nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons.

A special thanks to her dear friends, Marky Cantrell and Marilyn Londenberg for their many visits and friendship over the years and the staff of St. Catherine's Center, and Providence Hospice for their wonderful care.
