During this time she achieved her Bacholor of Arts in History, from Armstrong State University, in Savannah, Georgia and was selected for membership in the History Honor Society, Phi Alpha Theta.Retirement brought them to Padre Island. The view of the water and golf course, from their home back windows brought back memories of her Hole-In-One in 1959 and her interest in history led to her membership in the Corpus Christi chapter of The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).Internment will be at a later date at Ft Sam Houston National Cemetery. No public services are planned locally. In lieu of flowers contributions can be made in her name to the local chapter of DAR.
