She especially enjoyed working with young children and taught at St Bartholomew's Episcopal Kindergarten in Florence for 20 years. She was also a member of the Muscle Shoals District Service League and the Alabama Wildflower Society.

She is survived by daughter Jennifer Moses (Larry Neill), son Keith Moses (Gina Crowe), grandsons Tyler Moses (Katherine Sweet) and Michael Moses (Sarah Taylor), several nieces, nephews, and cousins, and many very dear friends.
