She was a member of the Camptown Civic Club.  

She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and her beloved daughters-in-law, who she loved like they were her own daughters. She was an avid crocheter, making numerous baby blankets and afghans for friends and family for over 30 years. She took great joy in the peace the crocheting brought her.
