In her married years she always had a large garden, fed and collected eggs from hundreds of chickens. She canned, butchered chickens, made homemade sausage, while raising eight children. She experienced flying in jet planes, having traveled to Germany and Hawaii. She was skilled at sewing clothes for the family and enjoyed embroidering pillowcases and table cloths.
