After retirement from Tape Craft she continued her passion of working in her flower bed, visiting the sick, and making handmade quilts. She dedicated her life to Christ at an early age and became a member of New Prospect Baptist Church where she served faithfully. She enjoyed being a choir member until her health declined.
