Whereas, this woman of faith served her God as a member of First Presbyterian Church in Sumter and as an associate member of the French Huguenot Church in Charleston; and

Whereas, in addition, she was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Colonial Dames, Friends of the Library, Friends of the Museum, Sumter County Historical Society, Huguenot Society of South Carolina, and Metropolitan Opera Guild; and
