Later she worked for Nan’s, Bud’s Furniture & Appliances, Ramsower’s Furniture and retired from Marse and Son as shoe buyer and sales person. Her theme throughout life was great customer service…with a smile! She was an avid dancer with the Lubbock and Plainview Senior Dance groups. One of her favorite events was always the student council and senior dances. She was known best for her happy, energetic, positive, and encouraging personality. There was no job too large to tackle if it was worthy and she always enjoyed telling a good joke and her smile was contagious, even to the end. She was a member of First Baptist Church. She was preceded in death by her parents and one sister, Virginia Etter Rech. She is survived by one son: John Dayton and wife Debby of Springlake; one daughter: Phyllis and husband Clinton of Plainview; four grandchildren: Carey Dayton of Lubbock, Chelsie Dayton of Lubbock, Aaron Wall of Plainview and Chrissa and husband Brandon Brotherton of Denton; six great-grandchildren: Dustin Dayton and Jennifer of Lubbock, Zachary Dayton and Adam Dayton of Lubbock, Mariah Dayton of Lubbock, Adelyn Brotherton and Dylan Brotherton of Denton and best friend: Robert Matthews of Plainview.
