She later joined Nazarene Baptist Church where she served faithfully as an usher, missionary, secretary, president of the senior choir, and an excellent Sunday School Teacher. She enjoyed teaching and sharing God's word, that was her greatest passion. She was a graduate of Fairfax Public School and worked at the Allendale County Hospital, retiring after thirty-eight years of service.
