In 1975 Artis took a teaching position at St. Rose Catholic School in Denison. She taught first grade there until 1999. Artis enjoyed reading and was an avid sports fan, especially cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes. In true "teacher" fashion, Artis had a passion for coloring and cutting projects to help her daughter's students even after she had retired. Above all else, she loved spending time with her grandchildren as they were the true "apples of her eye."
