Her life was filled with wonderful experiences at Trinity Methodist Church, Rome. A member since 1965, she served in several capacities including: a member of the chancel choir, director of the children’s choir, President of the Methodist Women and President of the Fellowship Sunday School Class. She also served on various work area committees that included Staff/Parish Relations, Stewardship and the Administrative Council.

Civic and volunteerism commitments included many years of service to the Rome Jaycees; who awarded her with their Presidential Award of Honor for her work with their auxiliary members. She volunteered with the Exchange Club of Rome in the Family Resource Center for the prevention of child abuse and the Rome Community Kitchen.

She said she was always delighted to hear the phrase “let’s all go for some homemade ice cream at Nana and Papa’s house”. She loved entertaining and feeding her many family members.

The family would like to offer their sincere thanks and gratitude to the many staff members of The Spires at Berry College and Heyman Hospice Care who treated her with love and care as if she were family.
