She and her family moved to Chicago in the early 1950's. After 35 years in Chicago and retiring from 20 years-employment with Oscar Mayer Co., she later returned to her native Pearl, MS, where she gave of herself in helping to care for the sick and shut-ins.
To her seven surviving children, she leaves the instilled "life principles" of self-determination and self-responsibility. Her passion was "doing God's work" and inspiring others to reach beyond their self-imposed limitations
