Temple was mutli-talented, having been an artist painting with water colors. She was an expert seamstress and sewed many of her own clothes including her wedding gown. Later in life she did very fine needlework. She developed a love of gardening and was one of the group that established the Flat Iron Garden on Ware Neck Road. She particularly enjoyed flower arranging especially with dried flowers. She served as president of the Country Hills Garden Club, Fairfax, Va., as well as the Walter Reed Garden Club, Gloucester.
A full obituary will follow at a later date.
