They raised three children and they worked as co-directors of a Christian Ministry called “The Way Inn” for nine years. This ended up being the job she loved the most. She served God in her church in many ways; teaching, counseling, and sharing her life with others. Her kindness and love for people was always apparent throughout her life, but even more important was her love for Jesus and her desire to share the Good News and hope that she had in him.
