Later she would reside in the Chicago area and in 2007 when she retired and moved with her late husband to Tucson Arizona. In 2014 she moved back to Wisconsin to be closer to her family.

For the past 50 years she's had reoccurring bouts with cancer. She was a volunteer counselor for people facing cancer and bravely made difficult choices in her life living with cancer until her final transition surrounded by family, friends and her beloved dogs. She always enjoyed spending time with her family and preparing meals for people. She was an avid reader and loved playing cards.
