The family moved to Casper in 1966 and she taught for 20 years at Westwood and Paradise Valley elementary schools. She retired in 1986.

Following retirement, she helped to raise her grandchildren; volunteered at Natrona County Memorial Hospital, Fort Caspar, and the Chamber of Commerce; and taught "55 Alive" driving classes.
