Zion Baptist Church and later joined Rising Sun Baptist Church, both in Norfolk, VA. Her affiliations included the Missionary Society, Trustee Board, Choir, and Usher Board Member. Until she relocated to South Carolina three years ago, she was always active in her church. Nana, as she was affectionately referred to by family and friends, enjoyed talking, listening, entertaining, traveling, sewing, spending time with family, and watching television.
