The newly weds lived in Mansfield then moved to Pateros in 1946. Elsie opened her first beauty shop before she was married then, whenever opportunity allowed, continued in the trade. They made another move to Brewster in 1956 and retired in 1977. They enjoyed going to Arizona for the winters where they would sneak to a few Chicago Cubs games. George and Elsie moved to Wenatchee in 1978 and enjoyed visiting the mall to see their friends from up and down the valley.

She left her family with many samples of her crafts. She enjoyed attending games at the local high schools where they lived, nephews' games and followed her grandchildren's many events.
