She married John Like on Aug. 15, 1964. Later in their lives, the couple spent time in several communities around the state as John pursued his vocation as a Methodist minister. They retired to Linton, and John preceded her in death in September 2007.
She is also preceded in death by two sisters, Georgia and Bernice; and two brothers, Lawrence and Clyde. She is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, Joey Like and Penny Reid of Bloomington, Indiana; and a niece, Rhoda Ackley of Ocala, Florida.
