Upon retiring for a second time, she and her husband moved back to Greeneville, Tennessee where she was the Local Seventh-day Adventist Church's Community Services Leader serving, sharing and giving of her life with all those in need. Four years ago her husband Lyle preceded her in death and she moved to Moses Lake, Washington to live with her youngest daughter Robin, and son-in-law Andrew Bair where she joined the Seventh-day Adventist Community Service ladies (which she affectionately referred to as the Ladies Aide) in teaching, showing and sharing Gods love once again.
