Dacy and Bill also spent many hours at their "shop" or flea market and at auctions and would get acquainted with people and then invite them to church.

She enjoyed meeting and talking to people. Dacy worked at several jobs including Sterling's and Gibson's in Conway, Collum's Model Market in Bee Branch and Thriftway in Clinton. She also enjoyed sewing and did some sewing for the public. Dacy loved working with people and helping to meet their needs. She had a big heart for both people and for animals of all kinds.
