She leaves to cherish her sweet memories, five daughters, Georgia Izola (Harold) Fellows, Tressie Mae (Rev. Robert) Esters, Bettie Jean, Martha Ann, and Heartent Elizabeth Landours, all of Evansville Indiana; two sons, Jethro Maurice Landours of Wichita Falls, Texas and Donnal Ray Landours of Henrietta, Texas, a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends and relatives; and David Ray, a special caregiver.
