In 1959 she moved to Watervliet and was a parishioner of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church where she became an active member of the Lady’s Guild. Some of her hobbies included dancing, bocce, and going on trips to the casino for bingo. She also enjoyed playing poker and pinochle with her friends and family.
