After the war was over, they moved to Powell where they farmed for many years. Her daughter, Sandra, was born in 1947 and completed their family. While on the farm, she learned to run tractors, irrigate and help with the crops. After her children were raised, she returned to teaching for 15 years in the Powell schools at Parkside and Westside.
She was a longtime member of the Presbyterian church and after retirement from teaching she volunteered to deliver Meals on Wheels, played piano for the nursing home church services, and tutored her very close friend, Teresa.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Melvin; and sister, Marge. She is survived by her children, Ron Wendling, of Greybull, and Sandra Fetzer, of Powell; 4 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.
Cremation has taken place, and at her request, no services are planned.
