She was active in her church, community and organizations too numerous to mention. Her years as a travel agent for Van Zile Travel Agency took her all over the world, and her many interests - golf, music, travel and bingo - kept her always on the go.

Funeral will be Friday, December 5th at 1, at the First Presbyterian Church.
