She was an elementary teacher and a Staff Development Coordinator with the Putnam County Department of Social Services in Carmel, NY for several years before retiring.

Also, she is survived by her stepchildren, MaryAnne and husband, Mike Fallon, Carolyn and husband Richard Smiles and Donald Davis Jr. She has seventeen grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren.
