Several hundred participants made and sold baby clothes, food items, pottery, woodworking, and jewelry there for a number of years. She was a member of the St. Michael's Chapter at All Saints', a Literacy Action tutor, and active participant in the English-Speaking Union, Camellia Society, High Museum of Art, and Atlanta History Center. She toured North America and Europe in her seventies and eighties, witnessed a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral, and attended opera, concerts, art exhibitions, flower shows and horse races well into her nineties. Her private life continued to reflect the joy of her childhood. She created the Low Country garden at her home on East Paces Ferry Road, where she regularly entertained her expanding family. She is survived by her nieces and nephews, Susan Lawton Daugherty, Mildred Cragon Daugherty, Eleanor Reynolds Hale, Sue Lawton Mobley, Ann Lawton Pearce, Harriet Zahner Van Houter, Jane Zahner, Lamar Ager, Edward Lawton Daugherty, Reverend Lawton Daugherty, William Henry Daugherty, Robert Zahner and a multitude of their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
