She was a career long worker at State Farm Insurance as well as a member and deacon of Mtn Plain Baptist Church.

She has been described by her family as the rock, a quiet nurturer, one of the hardest working women they knew, and a woman who loved God and her family. She enjoyed laughing until she cried. A verse that describes her well is Proverbs 31:31 – “honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”
