She loved the outdoors and was well-known for her long walks on the Tampico highway. She worked hard on her lawn and loved to work in her garden. She was a skilled fisherman (in her mind) and loved to entertain her grandchildren with stories. Staying at Gramma's house was her grandchildren's love.

She became an avid Nashua Porcupine fan as her grandchildren attended Nashua. Later in life, she became a Scottie fan again and was a well-known critic of referees. Her favorite times were always being with her family.

She spent the last several years residing at Faith Lutheran Home in Wolf Point.
