Her husband received a promotion requiring the family to relocate to New Jersey. She took the move in stride and found work as a dental assistant. She retired from that job at age 50 to do some traveling with her husband. His job required traveling, which provided the opportunity to visit many cities in Europe and in the United States. Her father’s health was failing and he came to live in her home, where she provided care for the last 10 years of his life. After her father’s death and the children were out of the house the family moved to Toledo, Ohio, because of job requirements.

She surprised several more experienced golfers with her skill and scored a hole in one while playing golf in Toledo. She provided excellent guidance for her children and made a pleasant home for all to enjoy. She was in charge of the finances for the family and did a fine job with that as well.

After her husband’s retirement the family moved back to Rising Sun and enjoyed many years of retirement. Later her health began to fail and she suffered several strokes, causing her to spend her remaining days in Shady Nook Care Center in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and more recently, The Waters of Rising Sun.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8th at the Markland Funeral Home in Rising Sun, with Eldon Fancher officiating. Burial will be at Rising Sun New Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the Ohio County Historical Society. Cards are available at the funeral home.
