Lola is survived by one daughter, Sandy Sims and husband Bobby, grandchildren, Tiffany Hall and husband Ben, Josh Sims; two great grandchildren, Emma Hall and Hunter Hall and a very special niece, Diane Williams and husband Kenny.

The family would like to express a special thanks to Lola’s neighbor and special friend Marilyn Wahl who visited with her daily and took her on many adventures.
