Watson Jr. Her B.A. degree was earned from Madison College. She was secretary of the Aeolian Club and was the first person to be chosen as chapel organist for all four years, which required the approval of the College President and her parents.

On the eighth day of November 1998, she was elected Elder Emeritus of Covenant Presbyterian Church and this was one of her treasured moments because her church had always been the center of her life.

Powell (Gladys) and Becky Powell Williams; and her great-grandson, Brandon Scott Williams.
