She and her husband owned Rheta’s Glenmere Spa at the corner of Maple and Chestnut Streets. It was a restaurant which she loved and catered to the people who worked or went to school in the neighborhood. She loved her jukebox music except, “Little Richard”. She couldn’t figure out why he had to scream so much. Even in the nursing home, she loved the “Oldies” and could name the titles in the contests they had.

After they sold their business, she went to work in the Lynn School System as a lunch aide. She loved working with the children.

She was a Red Sox and Patriots fan and disliked the Yankees.
