She says she is a "diehard supporter of the Episcopal Communicators. They are such good mentors and always supportive. Many of them, like me, served as lone rangers in our jobs for the most part. Usually we do it all, in one-person offices. It's lonely work and often others don't understand. Then, one time a year we get together with this group and everyone understands. You get support, make friends. It's a tremendously supportive group."
Ball held the position of editor of "CHURCHWORK", the diocesan newspaper, for 26 years. Not one to sit around idle, even before she retired in November, 2006, she accepted a new position as case manager for Episcopalian Relief and Development through the Diocese of Louisiana's Office of Disaster Response in New Orleans, helping Katrina victims reestablish themselves in our storm ravaged city.
