She spent many years in Central Oregon where she accomplished a diverse range of interests that included teaching, bee keeping and ranching. She moved back to Minnesota later in life because she enjoyed the four seasons and to be close to her parents. She would often joke that Minnesota only had two seasons…winter and construction.
