She was a member of the Christian Mothers Association, PEO Sorority and Phi Mu Sorority. She worked for many years as a nurse with The Women's Resource Center in Natchitoches and with Hospice of Natchitoches. Her heart was in caring for those that are poor, suffering, and the deprived. She donated her time and resources to the Association of Divine Providence and the Society of St. Vincent De Paul, two organizations that share the gospel and provide assistance to those less fortunate. She also volunteered her time with Radio Maria that communicates God's divine love and mercy with its listeners. Each year she looked forward to making meat pies for the church fair and the cherished fellowship with her church family during that fundraising opportunity. She will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved her.
