Saddened by their loss, but will cherish her memory, are her son, Jay Hopkins and wife Jackie of Greencastle; three grandsons, Tyler Hopkins of Greencastle, Benjamin (Sarai) McAllister of Spanaway, Wash., and Tommy (Ashley) McAllister of Fillmore; and great-grandchildren Atlas, Landon, Benjamincito, Teddy, Liam and Nash. Also surviving are her sister and best friend, Karen Simmons of Stilesville; nephew Mike (Liz) Simmons of Park City, Utah; niece Mindy (Duane) Higgins of Franklin, Tenn.; and great-nieces and -nephews Christopher, Savannah, Sean, Parker, Anna and Cameron.
