Zion Missionary Baptist Church in   Clyattille where she remained a serving, faithful, committed member and further serving as mother of the church. At church dinner      gatherings, she was known for the best and biggest pot of chicken and rice along with the biggest and best pot of collard greens. At family gatherings, their mouths watered and awaited for her to drive up with her famous sweet potato pies and sweet potato bread. (Just saying…) She enjoyed her flowers, planting fruit trees and growing vegetables.
