During her teenage years she worked at a hotel in Perry where she polished her cooking skills and learned to make what today is known as potatoe chips. She must have become an excellent cook because it was said that no one could make parker house rolls as good as her. In her last years her eyesight began to fail to the point of near blindness and her granddaughter Dolores helped care for her. Her obituary states she was "possessed with great courage, which brought her through many a heartache and trial".
