She began a career in nursing, working at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio from 1963 to 1968. She moved on from hospital work to private practice with a number of doctors: Dr. Malachi Sloan, from 1967 to 1969, Dr. Reginald Daniel, from 1970 to 1982, and Drs. J.E. Cromartie and H.M.

She was an avid football fan, often engaging her husband in discussions about her beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as working hand in hand with her husband to ‘teach’ their sons the finer points of dominos.

In my Father’s house are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye also’.
