She and her daughters were involved with scouting for a decade, then joined the National Charity League to continue mother-daughter service to their community. Favorite charities? Saint Louise House and Mobile Loaves & Fishes. Pet peeve? Fast-food medicine. "Stop popping pills for problems that lifestyle modifications will solve. Medicines are wonderful and often necessary, but let's not rely on them to be the whole solution."
