After graduating high school, she took a job for a time as a stenographer for Luzerne County in the Juvenile Justice System. She moved to Bloomsburg, PA around 1970, where she would take a job as secretary for the Athletic Department of the University there.

She retired, with Bill, to the seaside town of Lewes, Delaware in 1998.
