In 1939, she and Bert moved to Detroit where they were active in the Grosse Pointe Baptist Church. In 1957, they moved to Lake Park, Fla., and became charter members of the First Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School for 46 years.

She leaves in mourning, her loving son, David and daughter-in-law, Sheila, two devoted sisters, Pearl Bess Fultz, Bessie Wright and many nephews, nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces.
