She then taught second grade at the Shattuck Street School in Littleton from 1959-1963. She retired in 1980 after teaching second grade in Charlotte Dunning School in Framingham from 1963-1980.
She was a member of St. Anne's Parish in Littleton, was a former President of St. Anne's Sodality, a Lector for many years, and a member of the parish Council. She attended Mass and the Rosary every month. She was an Alumna of Boston University, a Life member, President and State Chairman of Alpha Gamma Delta Nu Chapter from 1950-1970.

Her favorite hobby was taking short trips with her husband, visiting relatives and friends in his piper Cub - a small plane that Sam kept in their backyard from 1936-1956. On these excursions, she enjoyed being "copilot" and taking aerial photos.
Her hobbies were golfing with the Women's League at Groton Country Club and bowling. She organized numerous group excursions to Tennessee, Florida, Bermuda and Hawaii.
