She held bible studies in her home with fellow ladies of the faith, Elders, Overseers, Pastors and Deacons and anyone that wanted to converse with her about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirt and they would discuss meanings of the bible verses which they were studying.
Beyond her professional role, Nonie was named the "Corn Fairy" of Santa Cruz, where she generously distributed Elotes Corn to the homeless. "American corn with a Mexican flair" is what she used to call her Elotes.
Her hobbies reflected her vibrant and eclectic nature, embracing the creation of beautiful tie-dyed clothing and exploring the metaphysical spiritual healing properties of crystals and stones, Nonie's life was a testament to her belief in kindness and community service, attributes that mirrored in her personal and professional life.
