She was preceded in death by her parents, Wiley and Katie Wall; and her son-in-law Robert Lee Ward, Sr.
Mrs. Herring was born on Feb. 23, 1924 in Troy, Ala. She later moved to Lanett, where she met the love of her life, her future husband Hal. She knew instantly that she would spend the rest of her life with him. They wed on July 22, 1942.
She earned an associate’s degree with honors from Macon Hospital Nursing School, where she was a member of Phi Theta Kappa Sorority. Mrs. Herring served in the Cadet Nursing Corp. from 1944 to 1947.

Mrs. Herring was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. In addition to raising her five children, she supported her husband's football and teaching careers.
She and Hal retired to Tampa in 1997. She was a devout Christian, a member of First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks in Largo, and Dunwoody Baptist Church in Dunwoody, Ga. She was a woman of great compassion, strength, and grace. Mrs. Herring was known for her wonderful sense of humor, and was truly a friend to all.

Herring; her loving children, Dr. Tory (Cindy) Herring, of Birmingham, Ala.; Tim (Patti) Herring, of Atlanta; Hilda (Keith) Harding, of Oceanside, Calif; Helen Ward, of Cumming, Ga.; and Hala (Christopher) Carlton, of Largo.
