In the citation inducting her into the Hall of Honour, it was noted that she had been "a driving force for music in the city of St. John's" and "by striving for excellence in vocal production and for her ceaseless encouragement of her students to strive to do their very best with the talents God gave them, she contributed greatly to the success and growth of the Kiwanis Music Festival for many years." Special mention was made of Our Lady of Mercy School Glee Club which, under her direction, was the first Newfoundland choir to win the famed Mathieson Trophy in a Canadian National Music Festival competition.
