She loved and quickly became an accomplished bowler, belonging to three different leagues. She attended worship services at Flemington Presbyterian Church.  She was a frequent participant in the activities at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church and Hinesville First United Methodist Church, where she had many friends.  She also belonged to a number of local organizations including the Morning Glory Garden Club.
