She worked at the Evergreen Ball Room and drove school bus for Tumwater School for about 4 years.

Throughout her years of raising her boys; her home was always open to their friends, therefore making her a second mom to many other children. She was very supportive of Dave and Don in their school and sports. She often would take other children camping or to the fair.

She became employed with the State of Washington in the late 50's and continued to work there until she retired. This is where she met Wilbur (Bill) Hazard and they married on June 28, 1972. In retirement they enjoyed traveling around the country. Each had their own motorcycle and made many memorable motorcycle trips across the country and a motor home trip to Alaska. Over the course of their marriage, they built two homes together.
