She was born on December 22, 1948 in Logansport, Indiana.

She enjoyed reading, sewing, cooking, spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and traveling when she could.

She is survived by her children Greg Trent, Lisa Cox, Michael Trent, and Jennifer Hestand; her grandchildren Meghan Trent, Brittany Trent, Xavier Trent, Jared Trent, Alyssa Trent, Gregory Trent, Ashley Trent, Brooke Deemer, Kaelie Deemer, Brian Ragland, Shawn Brouse, Matthew Brouse, Samantha Burwell, and Alexa Hestand; her siblings Dale Oyler and Allen Oyler.
