Her passions were singing in the choir, knitting and volunteering for Carriage Town Missions where she donated her time and skill for knitting baby blankets for the Mission and for each of her grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.

She proudly developed her faith at Topinabee Community Church, Topinabee, Michigan, North Baptist Church and Mt Morris Church in Flint, Michigan, Lake Carroll Baptist Church and Northside Bible Church in Tampa and Lutz, Florida.
