She later worked as a health inspector for the Haddon Regional Health Commission. She loved local history and was a member of several historical societies. She also loved animals. It was not unusual for her to have an abandoned baby squirrel in her pocket in the springtime. Gardening was her favorite pastime and she and Howard created a beautiful backyard oasis that was enjoyed by many.
