Since early childhood, she sang and played the piano beautifully. Throughout her life she used her God-given talents; love of music and her special way of telling the stories of the Bible. She was always active in the church and women's ministries. She taught Sunday School and was a strong influence on young children and teenagers alike.
The Lord called her home saying, "Well done my daughter, well done."
