She worked as a librarian at Scranton Memorial Library in Madison for many years. During this time she developed a love of quilting and helped to start the Library's Quilting Club. She maintained a lifelong passion for painting as well as playing tennis until the age of 80. Nature and

especially bird-watching brought her much joy throughout her life.

In their retirement she and Jim traveled in their RV around the USA, Canada and Mexico. They did this for over 8 years. They settled in Titusville, Fl in the winter with many of their "RV" friends and returned to Madison in the summers.
