After retirement she did a lot of traveling with her companion Cletus Hemmer, she loved to travel. She enjoyed having company and always had cake or her special corn flake bars to share with her guests. Her family was her most precious possession, and her friends made her life complete.

15 great grandchildren; two nieces Sandy (Paul) Lorentzen, & their children, Pam (Matt) Barta & their children.
