She worked for Rubberset Corporation in Crisfield for 23 years before retiring and becoming a homemaker. When she was in Marion, she was a member of Christ Fellowship Bible Church. Watching The Young and the Restless, working in her yard, cutting grass, and cutting flowers were some of her favorite things to do. She also enjoyed sitting on her front porch and watching hummingbirds.
Above all else, she cherished the time she got to spend with her family. It was her passion to prepare meals for them and all of their friends. In addition to that, she would take pleasure in dining out with them, particularly at Tokyo Steakhouse. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the ones she cherished the most, and she was a caregiver for them. In addition to being their true best friend, she took pleasure in watching them compete in sports.
