She was a member of Ames Christian Church, where she shared her musical gift as organist and pianist for many years. She also worked with the youth and was choir director for a while. Her passion was music, but she also enjoyed gardening, sewing and crocheting. She had a tender and giving heart for family, friends and animals as well.
In 2000 she started working with CCA at Diamondback Correctional Facility in Watonga and was inspired to continue her education, and received her bachelor's degree in 2005 in criminal justice. She then transferred to CCA's Cimarron Correctional Facility in Cushing. Her love and devotion to her career resulted in numerous employee recognition awards throughout her 10 years at CCA.
