She had retired from Lima Path Labs and went on to volunteer at Joint Twp. Dist. Memorial Hospital in the gift shop where she used her favorite passion of shopping as the lead buyer for the store. She assisted with the morning milking on the family farm and was also a clerk at local auctions with her husband for 26 years. She has been active with the Cherry Bells – Red Hat Society chapter, the New Bremen American Legion Auxiliary, funeral luncheon committee, and was a life member of the New Bremen Historic Association.
