She was one of the first female business owners (Muscle Shoals Shoe Repair) in North Alabama.

She was an original as was her occupation. She was the only female cobbler in North Alabama during that time. Traveling, music, games such as pulling the one-armed bandit were enjoyed past times. But family was first in her heart and mind. She was a true defender of her family and friends. At the loss of Charles they were married 47 years. Her dream afterwards was to join him again. She is now in the arms of her earthly love and in the presence of their Heavenly Father.
