She was a member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church where she volunteered over the years in many ways. After high school, she worked for Lincoln Life until her first child was born. She was a stay at home mother until her youngest child was in school. She then worked for L.S Ayres and Sears until her retirement in 1990.
