She was a member of the Casey White Oak Church of God, where she was a Sunday School teacher for 50 to 60 years and a member of the Young at Hearts and WCSC. She started playing the piano at the age of 13 for church weddings and funerals and continued to play for various churches for over 50 years. When she was 11 years old, she asked Jesus to come live in her heart. She stayed true to this commitment all through her life, letting her light shine for Christ. Her constant faith showed in her life, as she never judged or talked badly about others.
