She collected neighborhood donations for every charity who called and asked for her help, and continued to help others throughout her life. She worked as a cashier for Grand Union for 35 years and was a member of the German-American Club, where she helped her friends during various club events, including the Oktoberfest, which was held annually at the club. She also worked with friends at various parties and events they catered, including the Oktoberfest and Gran Prix races held in Downtown Miami among others.
