She and Joe raised their five children together, until his death in 1985. After his death, she returned to school and pursued a bachelors degree in elementary education. She continued to pursue her education and received a masters degree in education in her mid 50s. She taught at Mar-Lon Hills Elementary for 19 years and enjoyed the children she taught as well as the lasting friendships she enjoyed with her colleagues.
