For many years she was an instructor of English as a Second Language and was famous for explaining to her young women students the concept of “drop dead money”. Her love for genealogy and reading was expressed through her involvement with the Friends of the Liberty Library, Libertad Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Magnolia District of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Liberty County Genealogical Society along with membership in the Liberty Woman’s Club. As a certified Liberty County Master Gardener, she was able to provide horticulture information to the community through her weekly articles in the Liberty Gazette and a monthly party line program on KSHN. The Liberty Garden Club was also a beneficiary of her horticulture expertise.
