She was an avid cookbook collector and listened to the Betty Thomas Show every day on KDTH. She enjoyed collecting clothing items for Indians in South Dakota, and personally delivering them to the reservations.

She prided herself for her shorthand, typing and clerical skills and earned the highest honors for secretarial skills in her graduating class for Senior in 1941.
