She and her best friend June loved to meet after work on Friday afternoons to shop and then go dancing with Dick and Wally at the rainbow room. She moved to Weymouth in 1962 where she and Wally raised their children. Summers were spent at the beach, at Paragon Park, and for many years around the campfire in Vermont with the Bardons and the Hills. Her happiest times were with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
