She was the parent of five loving children, Jessica Antonette Lunsford, Melissa Janyce Lunsford, Clarissa M. Lunsford-Harris, and the late Thomass Andrew Lunsford, the loves of her life. Upon returning to her birth home of New Rochelle, New York, she became a devoted member of Bible Way Church Inc.
