She is preceded in death by her parents, Emory and Shirley Watson; and her beloved brothers Johnnie Allen Watson and Charles Wayne 'Pudgy' Watson. Net had two goals prior to her passing: one was to see Donald Trump elected President; the other was to see her new grandson. She accomplished the first goal and fought for the second one until the end. She was so beloved by the Doyline community. She always had a way to see the humor in situations and loved to enjoy a good laugh. Pallbearers will be Bobby Pickett, Bud Pickett, Jerry Watson, Terry Watson, Mick Watson, Rick Watson, P.J. Nixon, and C.J. Stewart. Honorary pallbearers are, in Net's words, "all of those people that were important in her life that were fortunate enough not to have to carry me around Doyline."
