In her working career, she worked for Quaker Chemical Corp. of Charlotte for 20 years, as a warehouse manager and retired from Glosson Freightways Inc., as a sales manager after 13 years. She was also active in other organizations, serving as past president of Trailways Ladies Auxiliary, Charlotte Transportation and Women's Traffic club, and a member of American Legion Post 301 Auxiliary.
