Her late father was pastor for many years at Tallapoosa Primitive Baptist Church, where she was a member, after accepting Christ as her Savior at age 17. She also faithfully attended Pleasant View Baptist Church, where her husband and children were members. Known for her quiet and gentle demeanor, she was an encourager who consistently wore a warm smile.
