When she was not caring for her family, she was out serving others. If she was in her home, she normally was busy crocheting bandages or hats, or quilting blankets to help those in need; and if she was not at home, you could find her out and about serving her neighbors and being an active participant in the Church. She was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thanks to her beliefs, she did all she could to help others feel the love God has for them. She exemplified the definition of a true Christian.
