After living for a short time on the Boll home place west of Denver, they moved to Grant City where they owned and operated Home Oil and Implement and were among the first to have a dealership for Hudson cars and Allis Chalmers farm equipment in Northwest Missouri.

She accompanied her daughter Connie's dance and singing performances at many local, regional and national venues. Her son Don also followed his Mother's musical influence as a music educator for 30 years, including as the Director of the Music Department at Crowder College.
