She was active for most of her life in the First Baptist Church of Dearborn, working with children, singing in the choir, and serving on the diaconate, even in her 80s. She loved relating to and raising children, but in her later years ministered to the elderly as well. She has always been an encourager of others, with a positive and cheerful disposition.
