Post-retirement, she taught remedial reading courses for underprepared students, leveraging campus resources to maintain discipline. A lifelong Lamar advocate, four of her five children and multiple grandchildren attended the university. Notable collaborations include working with the English Department to design certification pathways, and utilizing Lamar’s technological resources for her family’s healthcare needs.
