Later on she went to work as a CNA for the nursing homes in Britt and Titonka. Her love of shopping was put to the test when they built their retirement home in Britt and was able to decorate it. She had many hobbies to spark her interests such as plantings flowers, collecting stain glass angels, precious moments and putting together 1000 piece puzzles and playing card games. (And yes her favorite color is purple.)
