She became a Christian at an early age and joined North Cleveland Church of God in 1932. She was the oldest living member of her church. She played the piano and organ for many years in the regular church services. Her life was an example of how to live a Christian life everyday.

Her kind, caring and Christian spirit touched the lives of hundreds of students and many of them have kept in contact with her throughout the years.
