She was an accountant for the family business Rocky Mountain Casing and later a waitress at the New Grand and Glow Room Cafe, ran the Candy and Cookie Connection at the White Mountain Mall, and was employed by Herbergers, but the work that mattered most to her was the years that she volunteered at the Young at Heart Senior Center in Rock Springs.
In 2012, she moved to Ogden, Utah to hang out with her daughter. She then moved to Grand Junction, Colorado in 2018 to spend time with her son, wife, and family.
A family service will take place at a later date.
