She was a retired RN and a member of the First Baptist Church of St. Petersburg for 52 years where she taught Sunday school classes and served faithfully as a greeter to those arriving at the church each week. She was known as "Memo" to her grandchildren and the numerous preschoolers at the YWCA Child Learning Center, where she volunteered for 14 years, helping teach children how to use a computer.
