During the 1950's she was a secretary for a brief time for the Quarter Midget Association which started in Hemet and belonged to Valley Ramblers Square Dance Group. She worked in the early 60's as a Cafeteria Worker at Hemet Jr. High School and then in 1968 she became secretary for her family trucking business, De Anza Express for 25 years. She bowled on multiple bowling leagues from the early 1960's until her health changed at the age of 83.

She left a legacy of love by her example, of doing for others first. Her family and friends are now left with many wonderful memories and we will all miss her very much. And for all of you that knew her love for baseball would probably agree, that the Angels and Dodgers have lost one of their faithful fans.
