In her early years, she lived in Vermont, New Jersey, and Connecticut, where she and Peter were the original builders and owners of River Bend Campground in Oneco, Connecticut. She moved to Florida in 1970, where she spent much of her life in Pasco County. She loved Sims and Starkey Parks, Hobby Lobby and Michaels, and spent many hours on her paintings, home and gardens. She loved to travel, around U.S. national parks in her youth, and throughout the northeast with her family in later years.
