Shortly after their marriage, she worked for many years as a cashier and stocker at the Fareway Grocery Store. She loved to travel with her husband and enjoyed her special trips with her sister Carole. She loved going to the casino and playing bingo. She also loved going to Lakota, Iowa, with her grandchildren! Some of her favorite places traveled were Canada, Texas and Las Vegas. She also enjoyed fishing and she enjoyed working in her flower and vegetable gardens. A special interest was tending the wild birds in her yard.
