She possessed a warm spirit and her home was always welcoming and hospitable. Neither Johnnie nor Bill ever met a stranger.

She worked for Dr. Eberly, Dean of Music at Texas Woman's University, where she was responsible in part, for helping to start the Music Therapy Program. She also worked for Dr. H.E.
