Survivors include her mother of Southland; a brother, Robert Allbright of Southland; three daughters, Shera Smith and husband Eddie, Roson Wilson and husband Richey, and Dawn Larson and husband Mike, all of Amarillo; a son, William "Billy" Pearson of Amarillo; five grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives.
