She had all her records and would see her in concert many times. She was an avid reader reading multiple books a month. She read many VC Andrews novels along with being an English teacher at Red Oak High School…known as “The Church Lady,” for you SNL fans.

She was active in her church at First Baptist Red Oak and was part of the “Over-The-Wheels” Senior class that her husband taught along with being a cherished member since 1968.
