She was involved in the foodbank outreach programs until moving to Dallas. She served on several local boards and was particularly fond of the Cass County Historical Society. She joined the congregation of Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church late last year. [She was a graduate of the Class of 1958, Logansport High School, in Indiana.]
