She was a founding member of St. Agnes Mothers' Guild and a highly-regarded contributor throughout its existence. She served as both the vice president and the Sunshine Club committee chairwoman for the St. Agnes Silver and Gold Club and took great pride in supporting her late husband John's accomplishments in the Knights of Columbus.
