She was active in their lives at St. Mary School from Market Day, Girl Scouts, Cub and Boy Scouts, and more. She was an active member and treasurer for the Berwyn chapter of TOPS Club Inc. for over 20 years.

She then transitioned to her new role as (the best) Nana and babysitter for Alyssa. In 2019, she moved to Darien to be closer to her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter.
