Her activism contributed to the development of the numerous Centers for Independent Living,^[4] serving the state of Alaska (both rural and downtown). She was inducted into the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame in 2012^[1] for her work in helping disabled persons gain access to independent living in Alaska.
