Over the years she held various cleaning positions at Cedar Ridge, North Central Health Care Center, Wausau Manor, Rembrandt and UWSP. She was happily retired.

In her free time, she enjoyed walking and shopping- looking for deals was her hobby. She could tell you where all the sales were. She loved having sleepovers and cooking with her granddaughter Ashlyn. She enjoyed gatherings with her family and friends and always cooked up a storm for them.
