She was a tireless volunteer and fundraiser for many wonderful charities such as Rape Crisis, the United Way, Multiple Sclerosis, breast cancer, heart disease, the Mental Health Association and the Careity Foundation. She loved social events, traveling, gambling, and a good glass of wine. Without fail, her friends and family were always her first priority.
She was preceded in death by her father, M.G. Key; and previous husband, Joe Paul Jones.
