Any time the Church was open she was there, helping with Bible School, socials, working hard in the kitchen on all occasions and teaching the Young People Sunday School Class. Eastern Star members will remember her for the many positions she held. Receiving the award for being a 50 year member was especially rewarding to her.

She worked in administration for Eudora Garment Factory and Superior Uniforms Company in administration in Eudora for many years until her retirement.
During her retirement she joined the Eudora Garden Club. She worked especially hard to make her yard beautiful by the information she learned at the club meetings.
