In the fall of 1945 she and her husband moved to Worland where they have resided since (see note after). She was a member of the First Baptist Church, Eagles Auxiliary and the American Legion Auxiliary. She was a Cub Scout den mother for six years and received several leadership awards as a den mother.

(My note: They did not actually move to Worland in 1945. Lived near Shell, Wyoming on Flitner Ranch in January 1947; then they moved to Thermopolis in 1947. It was about 1949 or early 1950 that they moved to Worland.)
