Boston was her home for the second half of her life. She excelled in her studies at University of Massachusetts-Boston and enjoyed various health-conscious and people-oriented jobs, including the farmers market and Whole Foods.
She enjoyed drawing with her fountain pen. Many pieces of correspondence included a little piece of her art.
