She was an active member of Webb Chapel Baptist Church in Farmers Branch. She loved her Lord and her church family and served faithfully for many years. She enjoyed serving in many areas of the church, singing in the choir, and teaching both young and adult Sunday School. She truly had a servant’s heart.
For many years she worked alongside her husband in their family A/C and heating business. She later retired from Southern Methodist University where she worked for over 20 years as an Administrative Assistant for two distinguished professors.
Some of her happiest moments were spent making memories with her children and grandchildren. Oh, how she loved her role as Nanny. She loved traveling to and attending their church and school events, baseball games and cheer competitions.
