She loved raising her family on the ranch and enjoyed cooking for groups of people that would come and help during round-ups. She was never afraid to help brand cattle or whatever was needed. Moving back to Phoenix, she worked for Del Webb in Sun City as a receptionist until retiring back to Mayer. She worked with the Mayer Meals on Wheels for many years until she moved to Prescott Valley, where she lived at Prescott Valley Good Samaritan Society.
