As a homemaker living in the small rural town of Island Grove she provided her children with a strong foundation of family values for which they are most grateful.

In 1964 the family moved to South Carolina for 2 years, then returned to Florida (Largo). During her employment with Pinellas County Water, her father passed and she moved to Port Salerno to help her mother. She remained there until her mother passed in 1997 and then moved to Valrico, FL
