She was an avid cross-stitcher, giving away most of her creations. Her family, immediate and extended, was a central part of her life. Balinda was a Baptist, last attending New Heights Baptist Church in Macon, GA. For years, she taught the Sunday School Class for the oldest ladies. She was also an ordained deacon.
