In early adulthood, she was active in the Omaha community and an avid golfer, at one time being Nebraska women's state 9-hole champion. She loved to cook game birds which her husband brought back from hunting trips. Even into her later years, she was an avid reader and loved to discuss current events. In memory of her English teacher at Central High, she reveled in correcting her son's grammar. She was a classy lady who will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
