She worked in the cafeteria for Heavener Public Schools for 14 years before she retired. After her retirement she continued to fill in at the cafeteria whenever she wasnt traveling with her group of Choctaw Seniors. If the Choctaws were going to send a bus, she was going to get on it first. She loved working in her yard and gardens as much as she despised cats and leaves. She never had a broom she didnt wear down to a nub and she never missed a Thunder game.
