After Mom (and Dad) returned from the mission field, they moved back to Corpus Christi, Texas, where Mom went to work for the Corpus Christi Independent School District driving school buses for special needs children, which she loved doing. Her and Daddy joined Segunda Iglesia Bautista where Mom sang in the choir and was active in church.
