Much of her time was spent volunteering with various organizations such as the Visiting Nurses Hospice Program and Meals on Wheels and was also a supporter of Heifer Project International. She was a member of Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church and the P.E.O. Sisterhood. Her parents, sister Esther (Dodie) Hummell and grandson James preceded her in death. She is survived by her sisters Harriett Pittman of Colorado Springs, CO, Patricia Riggsbee of Chapel Hill, NC and numerous nieces and nephews.
