After raising their children, she enjoyed working with her co-workers at the Hitchcock Clinic, Nashua NH for 11 years and moved from Adult Medicine to Occupational Health, where she supervised their drug Consortium.

She loved to travel with Adam, her husband of 53 years. Yearly cruises were always a joy to plan, and parish trips to Italy and Ireland always created wonderful memories.
