Sine of Blue Eye, Missouri; her son, J.Thorpe “Nes” Sine of Glenpool,Oklahoma; her grandchildren, Nicole (Neal) Ponkilla of Oklahoma, Kyle Sine of Oklahoma, Sampson Sine of Missouri; two great grandchildren, Ember Sky Primeaux and Nyah Ponkilla of Oklahoma; she has five nieces on the Johnson side of the family and one nephew; and on her husband’s side of the family she has three nephews and one niece.
