She attended Calvary Temple church in Mountain Grove for many years. The last few years she attended Dawson Assembly of God.

She and Archie were a team, as she helped him on many projects. She loved the outdoors, whether it was fishing, although she didn’t like the worms, or gardening. She always had beautiful flowers. She also loved to sew and could sew anything from clothing to quilts. She also loved to crochet and taught her granddaughter how to crochet.
