Often times making trips to Texas in order to deliver these goods to whomever needed them most. Coming from humble beginnings, her sights were always set on making sure she saved for the leaner times, from baking bread to growing her own vegetables and canning them to use during the winter months. Her work at home was to make sure everyone had clean clothes, nutritious meals and guidance whenever they needed it—both spiritual and civic. With constant toil and unwavering spirit, she made her house a home for everyone she loved. If she could lend a hand to someone in need, she'd gladly do it without hesitation and never expect anything in return. She had a very caring spiritual family and enjoyed treating them as her extended family, always willing to give of herself in any way she could. Aside from her duties at home, she worked as a cook at the airport in her early years and she also provided cleaning services to help make ends meet. Taking care of others in one way or another was something she did up until the very end of her life.
