While living in Birmingham, she had been licensed by the State of Alabama as a real estate agent. Presidential elections were of great interest to her. She worked in very small ways to help get out the message about candidates, whether it be stuffing envelopes at headquarters, placing placards along the roadsides or making phone calls. She always had a great interest in family and the study of genealogy. Prior to the internet, she worked courthouses and libraries in search of information about her ancestors. As the internet came into being, she was privileged to find and help many distant relatives with their research. Several of these came from a number of different states to visit with her.
Her main concern, effort and love was that of being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
She felt very blessed that she had been able to live all over the south and enjoyed the friendships she made along the way. Many were a real blessing to her and some became life-long friends. None were more precious to her than those she had enjoyed during her school years. She especially loved the life-long friends. As she put it, you don't have to explain yourself to folks you have known all your life. After retirement, she and Richard settled in north Georgia, to be close to family and friends.
