After retirement, she loved spending time with her family, ice fishing with her husband, knitting, doing crafts and word puzzles, playing cards, and spending time at the Dairy Bar. She was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, where she was very active in Ruth Circle, and she was a member of Clark County Retired teachers.
