In recent years, she was the Secretary for the Pictou West Progressive Conservative Association; and the Secretary for the Alma Fire Department Auxiliary.

Donations in her memory may be made to the Alma Fire Department Auxiliary, the Stewart Cemetery (this would be a noncharitable donation), or a charity of your choice. Private family burial will be in Stewart Cemetery, West River Station at a later date.
