Some of her favorite outings were trips with the Seniors to Ellijay and Branson .Through her crocheting skills, many people were blessed with baby blankets, shawls, and scarves.  Her needlepoint crosses were given to prison ministries, as well as all hospital staff members caring for her during her illness.  The garbage collecter, the postman, and the policemen were all familiar with her cooking skills, as she blessed them with many cakes and banana nut bread.  She would meet them in the heat of summer with a cold glass of water.
