They purchased 27 acres in Lakeport containing walnut, pear and prune trees. She also had chickens and 4-H sheep for their children. She and her husband owned a house painting business, where she was the bookkeeper.
She and her husband moved to Anchorage, Alaska where she worked for the Alaska State Troopers doing secretarial work. They decided to come back to California and lived in Willits and Clearlake until her passing. She also was a member of Lake Chapter #231 of Eastern Star in Lakeport and has her Lifetime Membership Certificate. While in Willits she joined the “Red Hats” and really enjoyed being wild and crazy.
