After selling the farm, she worked at Figi’s in Marshfield and then as a cook at Loyal High School. She loved playing cribbage, sheepshead, and canasta. She taught herself crocheting and many of her doilies found their way into the homes of family and friends. She enjoyed cooking and baking and was especially famous for her potato salad and cookies. She loved to have her grandchildren and great grandchildren visit her home. They all knew where she kept the toys and the candy bowl. In her younger years she bowled and played golf.
