Her love for God was evident in every aspect of her life, and she took every opportunity to speak of God's glory and goodness. She lived most of her life in Brooklyn, New York and in Maryland in the city of Baltimore, then in Hagerstown.

She also loved to travel, experiencing the beauty of God's creation everywhere she went.
