In addition, she raised four children in the home she helped build by hand with her late husband, Maurice, in Geneva, Ohio. She enjoyed her family most of all, but she also took pleasure in being an exercise instructor, baking, cooking, sewing, needlework, oil painting, reading, bowling leagues, entertaining people, and traveling. She passed away on September 24, 2024, in Oakwood, Georgia.
