Later she and Floyd had many cross-country adventures in their camper and trailer. She also enjoyed time at the nearby lakes and loved dancing, reading and getting together with her friends. In later years, she devoted much of her time to volunteer altar activities at St. Mary's Cathedral. She was also an active member of the Catholic Daughters.
