In her later years, she was the played for the Poor Souls, a singing group who traveled throughout the area entertaining clubs and organizations. She played almost every day, the most precious times when her granddaughter Kelly sang with her. She also enjoyed writing poems and jingles, doing crossword puzzles, and entering contests, most of all visiting with her many friends and neighbors on her front porch.
