Mom played high school tennis and enjoyed it throughout her life; she loved working in her yard and flower garden’s with dad making them always appear as a perfect postcard photo. They enjoyed their trips back home to the Pacific North West, walking the beach and hearing the roar of the ocean.

During word WWII she worked for the Office of Price Administration and was very proud that she was once called upon to retrieve a wrench from inside the wing of a B-17 because of her small stature. She later spent many years in the banking industry.
