She was a member of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Altar Society, Perry Study Club, 4-H Leaders Association, FFA Mothers Club and the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Women Leadership Committee.

She was an avid domino player and loved hosting and attending social gatherings. As an only child she somehow managed to have more cousins and extended family than most. Her desire to keep up with community endeavors and family was untouchable.
