She was preceded in death by her husband, C.W. "Bill" Shore, in 1984. 
In addition to her husband Bill, she was preceded in death by her 
parents; two brothers; and three sisters.

Survivors include her two sons and daughters-in-law, William Richard 
Shore and Betty Lee of Kilgore, and Ronald Joseph Shore and Grace of 
Longview. Also surviving are seven grandchildren, Jeannie Kuers, 
Sharanne LaBarge, Sharlotte Smith, Rick Shore, Stephen Shore, Michael 
Shore and Kenneth Shore; 12 great-grandchildren; two great-great-
grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Margaret Rieke of Hazen, Ark., and
