A woman of strong faith, she served on the usher board, attended Sunday School and Bible Study, and actively participated in numerous church ministries. She was known for sharing daily messages of faith and encouragement with family members, friends, and fellow church association members and cherished staying connected with them. She also enjoyed staying connected with her many childhood and college classmates. In her spare time, she enjoyed watching sports, game shows, and movies on TV. She was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on her favorite team.
