She was loved and cherished by many people including: her brother Robert; her parents, Julian Farr and Mary Farr; her daughter Carole; her pet Square Dance; her husband Daniel James DeWitt; her son Robert Winston DeWitt; her daughter-in-law Carolyn Ruth DeWitt; and her grandchildren, Amanda Ruter, Grace DeWitt, Matthew Wendal and Jeremy Wendal. She was also cherished by nine great grandchildren.
Recently, sitting in her community center, waiting for a Covid vaccine, she entertained everyone by singing "I'm an old cow hand from the Rio Grande. And I learned to ride 'fer I learned to stand…" But the only time she ever rode a horse, the ranch hands heard her wild protests and yelled "Don't forget to duck!" as her mount returned to the barn at breakneck speed.
