Gretchen graduated from Duluth East High School and the U of Minnesota, Duluth/ Minneapolis (Medical Technology). She began her med tech career at the UMN's Variety Club Heart Hospital; at Samaritan Hospital, St. Paul; and then at UMN's Student Health Service.

She volunteered as an election judge, the Hamline House Board, and for the Roseville library. Her learning experiences were varied, ranging from Roseville Police Academy to university/community classroom sessions. Travel included, among others, Elder Hostel trips, overseas destinations, Duluth and Detroit Lakes.
