Priddy and Todd Priddy and wife Jennifer; Great Grandchildren: Robert Brycen, Mason, Camryn, Jenna and Brooke Priddy and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband John Karafa, parents Martha (Oberlightner) and O.W. (Bill) McLaughlin, her brother Frank McLaughlin, sister-in-law Dorothy McLaughlin and son-in-law Robert L.
