She was a homemaker for most of her life but also enjoyed working at Joann Fabrics for some time after her kids were grown. She was a talented seamstress, whenever anyone needed anything mended she would do it for them. She was very sociable and could start a conversation with anybody.

She also loved doing puzzles, working in her yard and garden, and polka and waltz dancing with her husband. She was a longtime member of VFW Post 446, then at Post 7729, serving as a trustee for many years. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family.
