They moved from Milwaukee to West Milwaukee and then West Allis as they worked and raised their family. Nola worked as a nurse for 22 years after the children all started school and then retired from the Veteran's Administration Hospital in 1988. She then worked as a volunteer at the VA Hospital for many years.
Nola was known for her leadership, organizational abilities and wonderful down-to-earth sense of humor. Nola loved traveling and visited many different states and countries with her husband until she was widowed in 1989.

Nola was also active in the Crimestopper's of West Allis-West Milwaukee becoming a board member and holding a deep respect for all the "guys" at the "Cop Shop."
