She was also a caterer and was known for her punch bowl cakes, punch, applesauce cakes and famous for her chicken and dumplings. Sister was very active after she retired; taking care of her uncles James, Buddy and aunt Lucinda. Sister took care of her mother, Lena and also helped take care of her sister, Parthenia.

Sister was an active member of the former New Revelations Baptist Church where she served as the Usher Board President and the Kitchen Committee President. She would travel the Eastern Shore every Sunday to attend Usher’s Days. Her sisters and cousin, Timmy Hayes and riding partner, Annie Askins would often accompany her. Sister was a faithful member and servant.

Sister was a proud Mom-Mom to Jada Adams. She was the go-to person for the family and could often be found sitting on her porch everyday with her sisters Parthenia and JoAnne.
