She was actively involved in the Holy Family Auxiliary and Women’s Guild, and supported the Chinmaya Mission in Andover. 

After retirement, she enjoyed spending winters in Fort Lauderdale and returning every summer. Her favorite activities included travelling. She enjoyed holidays and special events, celebrating with family and friends. She had a zest for life and though it was not her career, she was the ultimate party planner and loved hosting.
