For 25 years she raised her family and was a homemaker, and then for 18 years was a Certified Nursing Assistant at Hadley Hospital and Hays Medical Center.

Family was number one, and she loved gardening and watching her birds. The rosary was her saving grace, and she prayed for her family and friends daily.
