As a youth, she heeded the call of Christ and began her journey with the Lord at Zion Hill Baptist Church of Herod, Georgia. After moving to New York in 1957, she remained steadfast in her Christian walk and was very active in her administrative duties in the finance department of her church. In later years after returning to Georgia to care for her mother, she united with the New Macedonia Baptist Church under the leadership of her brother, the late Reverend Albert Bob, Jr. She was a faithful, dedicated member and willingly served wherever needed until her health failed.

One of the joys of her life was cooking and her table was always spread not only to family, but to anyone in need. In her free time, she enjoyed traveling, taking pictures, and on-line shopping, The strong bonds of friendship that she developed through the years will forever be cherished and remembered.
