A few short months later they were married and together until Frank passed away.
She is survived by her daughter, Frances Earlene Wilder; grandson, Aaron Wilder (Tiffany); granddaughter, Angela Kyzer (Mike); three great-grandchildren, Hali Wilder, Cody Kyzer, Austin Wilder; brother, Ernest Copeland (Clara); sister-in-law, Judy Copeland; and several nieces and nephews.
