They retired and moved to Dunnellon, Florida, in 1971, where they became active in Garden Club, Stamp Club, AARP, Civic Club and Hospital Association, among others. She organized many flower shows for the Garden Club and won prizes for her flower arrangements. They were chairmen of the Rainbow Lakes Birthday/Anniversary dinners once a month for many years.
