After attending college in Iowa, she got married and moved to Waterloo, Iowa. She raised four children and was active in volunteering throughout her life. After divorcing her first husband in 1990, she remarried and moved to Michigan. She enjoys traveling and taking art classes.

If you received a chocolate-smudged letter in connection with the annual finance drive of the Ann Arbor League of Women Voters, think nothing of it. It was just that a little pleasure probably mixed in with business as Boy Scouts of Troop 30, Dixboro, munched brownies as they helped address and stuff envelopes for the drive. Some of the boys who participated are shown above.
