Known to her nieces and nephews as Aunt Sankey, she lived with her sister at 1054 Asylum Avenue. An active member of two welfare organizations, the Union for Home Work, and the Home for Blind Children, each Saturday during the winter she "conducted a working group in her home at which all the young cousins, boys and girls, made articles which were sold at a fair held on the front lawn in the spring, the proceeds going to the Union for Home Work." She always played Santa Claus at Christmas.
