She is survived by her husband Kenneth Watts; two sons Kenneth (Little Kenny) and Jeremy Watts; daughter Celeste Watts; fathers, Larry Gilbert and Stan Hitchcock; brother, Stan Hitchcock, Jr; sisters Marilyn Holland, Lori, and Joli Hitchcock, Brittney and Amy Gilbert. 3 grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and a host of chosen family and lifelong friends.
