She was a fierce soul winner for Jesus and was not afraid to share the gospel with anyone. She loved the Lord, her family, and her friends. She was one who would put pen to paper, leaving behind notes and letters for longevity. She loved animals and was partial to miniature poodles. Her recent dogs were Pepe, Bear and Max. She was married to Elbert Aaron (“A”) Herrin at the young age of fifteen. He was in the U.S. Air Force, and they were stationed in Fort Worth, Texas, Anchorage, Alaska, and Dayton, Ohio.

She retired from there after 27 years of service. She shared a special unbreakable bond with her twin Elise, and sister Jenny, she will be missed terribly until we meet again in Glory.
