She was an artist and had exhibited widely. She had sold paintings in California, Texas, Nevada and Utah. She worked in pastels and watercolor. Indian portraits were her specialty. She also painted still life, flowers, and landscapes. She loved the Utah canyon country and found beauty wherever she was.
She enjoyed cooking and derived great pleasure from her many years working at Parry Lodge. She worked until she was 72 years old. She insisted on things being done right; less than the best one could do was not good enough. Any failures and calamities were not dwelt on but were put behind, for she always looked ahead.

fond memories of many good times spent with her.
In her young years she was a "Tom boy" playing basketball, riding horses and bicycles and walking in the rain gutter around home in Dallas. She taught English to Jewish immigrants at Dallas High School night school. She loved people and found something good in everyone she met.
