She served in several capacities at her beloved Davis Grove Church, such as president of the Mission Board, choir member, kitchen committee and mother of the church. She also was a care giver to many and provided transportation, shelter and food to those that were in her care. Through the years, Her home in Ashburn served as a place where babies were born (she delivered a baby), big Sunday meals were cooked not only for her family but those that lived in the area (she believed strongly in feeding people) and the community telephone hub (no one else had a phone in area but them).

She was such a godly woman who stood firmly on the word of God and loved sharing how good her God was to everyone. She was also the queen of famous sayings and stories! No matter the situation, she always had something for you. She had an amazing sense of humor and will be greatly missed by anyone that has ever been blessed to be in her presence. She impacted every life she encountered.
