She also did office work for Pine State Knitwear of Mt. Airy. She sold Tupperware for Opal Wilson of Mt. Airy and was named Tupperware Saleslady of the Year in 1976.

She was called “Nana” by her three grandchildren, Amelia Elizabeth Cockerham of Greenville, NC; Charles Fredrick McCall II of Winston-Salem, NC; John Morgan Bert Cockerham of Chapel Hill, NC.
