In 1961 Willie and her husband Bill moved to Terre Haute from Cincinnati, Ohio and became members of St. Patrick Catholic Church. For many years, Willie volunteered her time at the St. Patrick soup kitchen and Catholic Charities Christmas House. She and her husband made numerous medical trips to Honduras with St. Joseph University Parish which was one of the joys of their retirement years. They were often quoted as saying “Sometimes we think Honduras did more for us than we did for them.” She loved to travel especially to the beach where for the past 7 winters she spent most of her time. Willie enjoyed being with her family, going to the library, reading, crossword puzzles and playing Mahjong.
