Survivors include her four sons, Thomas K. Jr of Olmsted township, Daniel (Holly Dellman) of Elyria, Kenneth (Claudia) of North Ridgeville and Brian (Betty) Nelson of Elyria, 8 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by father, Martin Prock, mother, Kathryn Z. Barlock, great-grandson, Hayden Keenan Nelson, three brothers, Raymond and Martin Prock, Marvin Barlock and her sister, Shirley Bourne.
