She was an amazing mother and grandmother; and those who got the chance to know her, loved her. She was an avid Elvis Presley fan, and often visited Graceland twice a year. In the mid 90s, she was posting on an Elvis thread and met her best friend, Helen Bergman. In 1998, they met for the first time in Houston, and over the years took many trips to Memphis together. She was preceded in death by her parents, David Blassingame and Rita Plumley; her brothers, Johnny and Steven Blassingame; and her son, Jason Scott Wagner. She is survived by her husband, Gaylon Mills; stepmother, Val Blassingame; brother, Clinton Blassingame; daughter, Stacy Perkins and husband, Brett; son, Jason “Kip” Mills; daughter, Nikki Mills; grandchildren, Jacqalin Mills, Taylor Mills, Brooklyn Murphy, Zachary Perkins, Ethan Perkins, Brynlie Murphy, Bransyn Murphy, Brady Perkins, Bryce Murphy, and Ainsley Perkins; great-grandchildren Jacob Mills and Tre Caldwell; nieces, Samantha Blassingame and Mandy Blassingame; nephews, Noah Blassingame, Nicholas Blassingame, and Johnny Blassingame, and cousin, Mariann McWain, who was more like a sister to her.
