Games (Sandy) of St. Paul, MN; 10 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; a brother, Harold M. Cribbs of Gilpin Township, PA; a sister, Lee Keagle of Kittanning.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by the two good men she married, her first husband, Loren P. McElfresh in 1961 and her second husband, Harry J. “Jim” Games in 2009; a daughter, Cheryl E. (McElfresh) Haigh; a son, Loren D. McElfresh; a step grandson, Brian Games; two brothers, Robert C.
