She was a member of Mays Chapel Christian Church, serving as treasurer for several years, and a member of the Pennsylvania Grange.

She was a homemaker with numerous talents and hobbies, including gardening, sewing, painting, carpentry, and cabinetmaking. Cabinets and furniture she built are still in use 50 years later.

She was an animal lover, the person who would frequently have injured small animals or birds brought to her for care. Searching the house for a bird learning to fly was a common thing.
