She was a member of the Farmington AMVETS Post 113 Ladies Auxiliary for 27 years and earned many awards for her countless volunteer hours to help veterans and the less fortunate. She ran the AMVET bingo games for several years in an effort to raise funds for the special Christmas parties for the employees of the MCII Sheltered Workshop and veterans living in area boarding homes; of which both projects were near and dear to her heart. She held each of the officer positions for the Ladies Auxiliary at Post #113, including President, and served as President and Parliamentarian of the State Association and held the office of NEC, a liaison between State and National Departments. She was honored to receive the White Clover award, which is the highest award in the AMVET State Auxiliary.

She had a deep love for Louie, her family and friends, and wished to thank all who helped with her accomplishments.
