She loved taking care of her family. She helped Morris in many ways with his business, Henneke Construction, drawing house plans, bookkeeping, meeting with clients and keeping everything organized. She also served as secretary of First Assembly of God in Bastrop for many years and volunteered her time with various youth and childrens' ministries.
