She moved to Charlotte in 1984. She first worked for First Union Bank and then worked at Bank of America as a systems analyst until she retired.

She loved animals, rode motorcycles, water skiing when she was younger. She put her heart into everything she did. She would give anyone the shirt off her back. She and her sister went on trips to England and Ireland to visit our ancestral homes. The house in Eydon, Northants England was built during King George the III reign and still has occupants.

She will be greatly missed. She leaves behind her sister, Jama Hammond; 14 cousins and their families; many dear friends; and her dog, Murphy.
