After graduation, they settled in Richardson, TX where she quickly became involved with the community.

She wholeheartedly loved serving for Northrich Baptist Church, then later The Heights Church. Her hobbies included, but certainly was not limited to doll making, writing poetry, square dancing, playing bridge and hosting parties.
