She was both a charter and life member of the Appleton Women's Institute, and at one time was District President of Lanark North. Her keen interest in farm organizations and all things pertaining to the betterment of the farm community led her into the Lanark Cooperative Medical Services, and she acted as its secretary-manager for its entire duration. She also held offices in the Farm Forum and the Federation of Agriculture, and was Director of restoration of the Ramsay Pioneer Methodist Cemetery and director of building for the Doreen Drummond Museum at Appleton and a member of the North Lanark Historical Society.
