She then went on to work as a Direct Support Professional, Supervisor, and Service Coordinator for 14 years at MAATC/Lifequest in Mitchell, SD. She spent the last 7 years of her working career as a Case Manager at the Pathway Program with Dakota Counseling Institute in Mitchell, SD. She took so much pride in being a mother to everyone. She loved with every ounce of her being and anyone that was fortunate enough to have her in their life will tell you they never doubted her love.

Throughout her life she enjoyed following her nephews sporting events, attending her daughter's activities, making crafts, cooking her favorite meals, hunting with her brother, listening to oldies, caring for her grandkids, and growing up in Tripp. Her greatest pleasure in life was the birth of her daughter, followed by the birth of her grandkids.
