She began sweeping the file room as a clerk and rose in the company becoming the manager of the Division Order Department overseeing hundreds of employees and was a very successful businesswoman in Houston. She retired and moved to San Angelo where they joined a RV travel group called the Roadrunners. They met many friends and traveled all over Texas with their group playing cards and having the best time. She loves her books! Reading was her passion and she would always have up to 10 books in her walker even though she could not really read them anymore.
