After the birth of her daughter, she was a stay at home mom and assisted with activities in her daughter's classrooms at Grand Community. She took continuing education classes where she learned to frost and decorate cakes. After being widowed in 1983, she rejoined the work force and was employed by Boone County as a Home Health Aide and Casey's in Ogden. For 19 years, she worked for ISU Dining.
