She dedicated over two and half decades to looking after the patients of the Oxford Hospital as a Certified Nursing Assistant. After many years of service, retirement called her name and she found the time to enjoy her golden years. She found joy in scrambling an egg sandwich and tuning in to her favorite vintage game shows, especially Million Dollar Pyramid.

Family held a special place in her heart and she enjoyed the simplicity of being surrounded by those she held dear. However, above all her hobbies and interests she cherished her relationship with the Lord.
