Throughout that time she demonstrated her commitment to service to the university community; she cheerfully assisted countless GSUers through the complications of the purchasing process, served on the Ford Heights School District No. 169 Board of Education, as Ford Heights village clerk, and as a volunteer to a variety of organizations both in the university and in her community.
