After graduation I attended Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing.  Then married, worked at Ida Grove Hospital in Ida Grove, Iowa.  We then moved around, as my husband became a nurse anesthetist.

We settled in Olivia, Minnesota where we farmed and he worked at the hospital.  Here I raised my four children and became a homemaker (32 years).

We then moved to Gering, Nebraska for three years and now we've lived here in East Texas for four years.  I'm a full time housekeeper for my dear husband who works full time at East Texas Medical Center as a CRNA.
