Dell was a charter member of the church and also served on the session.
Upon the death of her husband, in 1958, Dell returned to school to become a licensed practical nurse. upon receiving her degree she worked in the office of her son, Dr. Charles Smith, and later at Davis and Jefferson Hospitals. Dell enjoyed gardening and canning tomatoes. She also enjoyed sewing, making quilts and clothing for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and attending the family Bogy reunions that are held every year in Pine Bluff. She was known as "Nan" to her grandchildren. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1997, Dell moved to Claremore, Okla., where she lived for seven years.
