In the early 1970's she was hired as the first head nurse of OB/GYN and Women's Surgery at the New Lexington County Hospital (Lexington Medical Center).

In her later years she became an Amateur Radio Operator "HAM" with WB4WOK being her inherited call sign from her deceased son. She also took courses in Calligraphy, Spanish and Flower Arranging. She also helped an adult friend to learn to read and write. She loved her son and grandchildren. She always provided a hot meal to her family.
