Although she enjoyed taking ATV rides, she especially enjoyed gardening and working in her yard, particularly mowing her lawn.

"In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by her husband, James “Frosty” Frost and a son, Isaac Vance.

"Those left to cherish Ersie’s precious memory, in addition to her mother, include her stepfather, Eddie Vance; her two biological children, Candace Basham and Paul Vance; two grandchildren, Ryan Vance and Isaiah Richardson; her sisters, Sylvia Basham and husband Michael and Elizabeth Ford and Mark Webster; her brother, Jackie Goode and wife Amy; and a host of extended family and countless friends."
