Earline was an excellent seamstress and made the wedding dress her daughters wore in their respective weddings. She passed the love of sewing on to her daughters and her daughter-in-law.

For several years Earline was known as the ''cake lady'' around Mountain View. She made hundreds of wedding, anniversary and birthday cakes for people in the community as well as countless cakes for her friends and grandchildren. When her grandchildren were visiting they always loved her icing finger worms and flowers. She would also decorate graham crackers for special treats as well as their choice of a birthday cake. Carrot cake was the favorite, and she even made a wedding carrot cake. She was an excellent homemaker.
