Her death certificate says her mother was Miss Emily Straley, born in Texas, and her father was J. P. Sorrels, born in Arkansas.

Her obituary says she was survived by three daughters. They were Mrs. M. J. Morgan of Fort Worth, Mrs. A. K. Owens of Fort Worth, and Mrs. W. W. Pitts of Dallas. Since no first names were given for the daughters, it is not certain who was married to whom. She was also survived by two sons, Jessie Ayers of Copperas Cove, and Louis Ayers of Austin. There were nine great grandchilderen and 19 grandchildren. Her brother, Lee and sister Mrs. Jim Williams also survived her. She was born and reared in the Topsey area, and had been a long time resident of the Topsey community.
