She was an active member of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, where she served in the Altar Guild, sang in the choir and played the organ. One of the first women on the church’s vestry, she was also the first woman senior warden and the first woman to administer the chalice for communion.

She was preceded in death by her husband Wilbur in 1989. She is survived by son Teri D. Hewson; daughter Dawn H. (Michael) Harris; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Alberta Stone; and three nieces.
