She served as Church Mother; Treasurer of the Mother Leaders; and a member of the Eastern Star. She was a dedicated member of several Missionary Outreach Programs and diligently studied bible principles. She believed that the Bible was not just the “Good Book”, but it was a good book to read and follow in her daily life. Furthermore, she believed that her children were not only a precious resource, but also a blessing from God.
