She was an active and devoted member of Faith Assembly of God in Lincoln, where she graciously planted the seed of faith by making sure children who wanted to attend had a ride to church and even blessing children with the financial resources to attend church camp.

She touched the lives of many people through baking cookies for her friends and their children and treating everyone as if they were the most important people in her life.

Memorial donations may be made in her name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
