She was active in organizations that benefited children and families including Cub Scouts, DHS Band Parents Association and the West Volusia YMCA, among others, all of which she served in leadership rolls. She served as Treasurer of First Baptist Church in DeLand for many years where she led the effort to build two major additions to its facilities.
