She also accepted the call to be the primary chorister, nursery leader and activity days leader. Along with being a busy homemaker and raising a large family, she also worked at the Preston Citizen Newspaper.
Her hobbies included sewing, creating blessing and baptism clothing for her children, grandchildren, and even, great-grandchildren. Her beautiful wedding cakes were admired by many.
