Colo. After her husband's retirement from full-time pastorate in 1977, she

served for two decades as a Sunday school teacher at First Baptist Church in

Amarillo where she also helped establish the Laotian and Vietnamese ministry.

In addition, she worked alongside her husband during his interim pastorate at

Washburn Baptist Church.
