Misty Lynn Householder was born on September 27, 1972, in Granite City, Illinois, one of six children born to Nathan G. Householder Sr. and Linda Darlene (Daubach) Davis.
Above all else, Misty was a devoted and loving mother. She dedicated much of her life to raising her four children, with a special devotion to caring for her disabled son.

Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she treasured every moment she shared with them. Misty will be remembered for her unwavering love and devotion to her family, and as a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt whose presence will be deeply missed.
