In her early years, she was employed by the electric company and the Randolph Medical Center and later went on to work for 22 years at the Paula Young Wig Company and retired with her husband to West Yarmouth, MA.

She was a religious education
teacher for over 20 years at Saint Margaret’s Church in Brockton, the Neighborhood Watch Block Captain in West Yarmouth and a devoted parishioner of St. Pius the Tenth Church.
