She also enjoyed volunteering as an Auxiliary Volunteer at Bolivar Medical Center. She loved her church, both Calvary Baptist Church and Morrison Chapel Baptist Church, where she served as a Sunday School teacher, adult choir member, member on various committees, and helped in any and every way she could.
