Guthrie, Jr.; brothers, Lewis and Jerri Owen, John and Louise Owen, and Woodrow and Mary-Lou Owen; sisters, Frankie and Herndan (Buster) Hogan, Georgia and Byrd Gilbert; and brother-in-law, Wesley Austin.
She is survived by her children, Becky and Tommy Guthrie, Roger and Deborah Guthrie; grandchildren, Noah and wife Heather, Joshua, Lyndsay, and Brogan; brother, Melvin and Trudy Owen; sister, Alice Austin; special nieces and nephews.
Much love to my “dear family” and my special and loving friend Bennie Angell.

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one, I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done, I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways of happy times and laughing times, bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve today before the sun and think of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
