She and her husband Bill also sang duets at many churches locally and in Arizona for over twenty some years. She loved our Lord and wanted to serve Him best she knew how. She was always kiddingly saying she was her husband’s star pupil in adult Sunday School. She taught students in Junior missionary and was the first cook for the church kids in the winter evening program once a week for three years and simply loved it and the kids to.
