She was also involved in the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Red Hat Society, the American Association of University Women, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Delta Pi. She was an ardent supporter of the American Red Cross. She was a graduate of Florida State University, where she earned her Bachelor's in Social Science & Master's in Library Science.
