She was active at St. Charles Church as the church council president for two years, as a commission member through 2004, and as a lector for a number of years. She volunteered at Red Cross blood-mobiles for over 25 years, and also at local election polls.

Throughout her life, Dumais also enjoyed swimming and getting together with family, friends and classmates.
