She enjoyed helping her husband Leonard in his pastoral years by visiting parishioners, the sick and shut-ins and members of the congregation. After his death she spent her time with family and friends in Ohio and winters in Arizona and Indiana with her children.  She especially enjoyed playing games and watching sports, notably her beloved Buckeyes.
