She served as a Red Cross hospital volunteer, as the Altar Guild Chairman for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church for 25 years, taught first communion and confirmation and served as a Sunday school teacher.

She was also an avid golfer, bridge player and reader.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her brothers Clyde and Wallace Holland and her grandson Christopher Parks.
