She remained in the family home until 1997, deciding to move to Baptist Village in Dothan, to be closer to her family.  She loved her time at Baptist Village and made many friends - cooking and sewing for others for all occasions.  In 2011, she decided to move to Westside Terrance, again enjoying the activities and friendships of many.  She was a member of Mt Gilead Baptist Church in Dothan, AL. Affectionately known as “Granny,” or "Mrs. E,” or “Aunt Tine” or just “Tine,” she will be well remembered for her cakes, pies, and quilts.
