They returned to Puyallup in 1965, where except for two short years in Hawaii she lived the remainder of her life. She was a stay at home Mom for her children but enjoyed many things in life. She loved to oil paint, crochet and was very accomplished until her hands shook too much for her to continue. She also loved to bowl at one point becoming the Secretary of the Valley Women's Bowling Association for many years. Prior to her health taking a turn, she would go to many tournaments including the National Women's Bowling Tournaments, especially when they were in Reno or Las Vegas

Mom loved her Seattle Mariners. She would watch every televised game. She loved having her children and grandchildren around her. Especially when they came to see her lights on her angel filled Christmas tree.
