She has been a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers for many years and served as secretary of her camp. She was a member of the Kindergarten Club and served as secretary- treasurer. She has been very influential in her family and has been a great example to her children and grandchildren.

Then in 1949 they moved to the crown jewel of their family homes in Alpine (Star Valley), Wyoming where they had large ranch near the beautiful Targee National Forest. When the Palisades Reservoir was completed in 1956 they were forced to make a final move to 228 East 3rd So. in Brigham City, Utah where she lived for 54 years, the last 15 years alone, following her husband's death.
