She played with many Grand Ole Opry stars at benefit shows and was asked many times to go on tour, but she chose to stay home with her family. She was a secretary for the VA Hospital in Jackson for over 30 years. After her retirement, she became a world wide traveler, she especially enjoyed going on cruises. She was the matriarch of her family and the glue that held them together. She always welcomed everyone with open arms and never met a stranger.
