She was an avid bridge and tennis player. In 1954 she was named "Lexington's Outstanding Woman" in a citywide poll conducted by the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, citing "her ability to be a homemaker instead of a housekeeper, her willingness to give of herself not only to her family but to the community, and her charming friendliness to all with whom she comes in contact..." as factors which lead to the honor.
