Following her marriage to the late Colonel Thomas Standifer Gunby, (who died in 1967) member of a prominent northeast Louisiana family, she lived in Rayville, Union Parish, Louisiana, where she was active in town and parish activities and civic organizations. While in Rayville she became quite well known as a writer for the Richland Beacon News (By the Boeuf with Beth), especially about residents along the Boeuf River.

Following the war, she devised and over saw the first program for medical inspection of nursing homes in Louisiana. After her move to Fredericksburg in 1976, she was active in community affairs there. Twice she was chairman of the Candlelight Tour, worked with the Pioneer Museum, volunteered in the Hospital Thrift Shop and displayed her crafts in the United Methodist Women (WMU) Bazaar, Comfort Art Guild, and the Emporium in Johnson City.

Throughout her adult life she was active in the arts, particularly in water colors and was a world traveler.
