Her hobbies include making porcelain dolls, stained glass stepping stones, knitting, crochetting, and scrapbooking. She isactive in her church and community and enjoys camping at the beach-and walking on the beach. She has been a lighthouse lover for many years and joined the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society in 1999 and attended her first Keeper's Weekend in 1999 which was a birthday gift from her late husband, Leslie. This became a yearly event and even when there were other events planned, they all had to be changed to comply with a lighthouse function.Her daughter, Kelly, has stepped into the picture to attend the events with her.
She has attended several working weekends and really wants to spend more of her time working to help the lighthouse society preserve the lighthouse history.
