She and Claude also served a two year church mission teaching college students at Southern Virginia University from 2001-2003, along with many other leadership positions. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She enjoyed sewing, staining glass, church work, genealogy, cooking, seminary work, painting, hairdressing.
She is survived by three children, Rebecca Justice-Ruddick, André Baggett (Bibi), Amanda Sidoti (Greg); and nine grandchildren, Zack, Christian, David, Azule, Gabriella, Dominic, Cameron, Gregory, and Alaina; sister, Roberta Jean Bower Halsell; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many special friends.
