She was a longtime hairdresser and volunteer with the Rest in His Arms Angel Gowns Organization. She was revered by everyone as a Super Woman, with an enormous heart for giving. She was a phenomenal cook, baker, quilter and seamstress, and would be the first to offer her assistance to anyone in need.
