She worked at Varrick Timothy Day Care Center for years, where she loved helping and caring for the children. She was one of the founding members of Wilkes Chapel A.M.E. when Rev. W.E. Stokes was the pastor. She continued to be a faithful member in the 1980's when her church changed to Wilkes James A. M. E., because she loved serving the Lord and her Church.
She was the last of the Wallace Klan who lived to be 91 years old and in her lifetime was able to see the first black President of the United States which was a blessing.
Her daughter Arnetta McClellan cared for her until she needed professional care which Green Country Care Center provided. The staff and workers gave her excellent care and love.
