She presented programs for other clubs and state conventions.
She was a member of College Heights Garden Club under the leadership of her best friends, Louise Tolar and Ella Johnson. Later she was a member of the Monroe and Bayou Desiard Garden Clubs. She helped Louise at the Sears Garden Center, kept the library books and design programs for T.V.
