She was a member of Zion's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Weatherly. Mattie was an excellent cook, accomplished knitter, gardener, and was recognized as an excellent baker. She knew all her neighbors’ favorite cakes, pies, and cookies. Mattie never paid to have her sidewalks or driveway shoveled for she baked her delicious cookies to those who helped.
