She was preceded in death by her parents and an infant son. Survivors include her husband, Thomas Voight of Ten Sleep; stepdaughter, Sierra Voight of Rapid City, South Dakota; brother, John Thomas Wyper of Grass Valley, California; three step-grandchildren and very special friend, Nita "Bama" Johnson.
