Having lived in Danbury and New Fairfield, CT until May 2002, she then retired to Albemarle Plantation in Hertford.

   Active in the Girl Guides in England, she helped her sister, Olive, run the 2^nd Saltdean Guides for a few years prior to moving to the US. Employed by Marcus Dairy upon initially moving to the US, she took time to raise her daughter and then later worked at St. James Church in their office, and at Wooster School as the Book Store Manager.

She also leaves many friends in Hertford who were instrumental in her being able to live independently the past couple of years and remain in the community she loved, as was her team of medical professionals.
