Moving back to Texas to be with family, they made a home in Bowie. Addie was a deaconess chairperson, a hospice resale volunteer and cashier, on the Senior Citizen Board and very active in the First Baptist Church as an adult Sunday school teacher and leader in many groups.
After a double back surgery, her daughters moved Addie to Prescott to live alternately with them in their neighboring homes on Happy Valley. Joining First Baptist, now Solid Rock Christian Fellowship, Addie made dozens of new friends and admirers for her energy, loving nature and spiritual maturity. She lived a beautiful Christian life all of her years and was a model to her family of the best kind of life and death.
