She was a communicant of St. Joseph's Church in Schenectady where she was a Eucharistic minister, choir member, religious education teacher, and member of the parish council. She loved to travel and enjoyed spending summers at Sacandaga Lake and wintering in Florida so that she could always be swimming.
