She was an active volunteer with Valley University Women, serving as its President for a term, as well as with the Jewish Family Service Valley storefront until into her 90s. She stated that her legacy was her children, Steven of Burbank and, Richard and Loretta Mayer, both of Los Angeles, who survive her.
