She was a member of the Family and Community Education program of the Agricultural Extension Service. In 1979 she was recognized as the Outstanding Home Economics Leader in East Tennessee. In 1991, she received the Tennessee Extension Homemaker Award for international projects and the National Extension Homemakers Council Award for outstanding volunteer service to the community and nation.
