She later did secretarial work for Kraft Foods, Perrin AFB and the Texas Department of Human Services. In 1995, she was selected Outstanding Woman in Texas Government and traveled to Austin to receive her award, which was presented by the Texas first lady Laura Bush. Preceding her in death are her parents, husband, twin brother Earl McKee and his wife Dean, brother Claude McKee, sister Eula Fannie McKee Hite and her husband Sewell and brother-in-law Claude Woodley.
