Her passion, however, was doing things for others and she was amazing at it:

• Distributed Communion Mercy Fairfield Hospital for 30 years

• Vice-President of the Fairfield Food Pantry
• Volunteer accountant for Fairfield Community Foundation
• Chaired the Sacred Heart Festival for 15 years
• Co-chaired the One Faith, One Hope, One Love Campaign for Sacred Heart
• Head of the communion distributors for Sacred Heart.
• Brought back and co-chaired the Sacred Heart Parish Picnic
• Founded and led the Ladies Day of Reflection at Sacred Heart

Her benevolence throughout Greater Cincinnati has been felt by many and she will be missed dearly.
