She became fully licensed as a mortician in 2013, and has continued to serve the families of Hill, Blaine, Chouteau, and countless other counties and states since.

Her off-duty hours are spent with her family and friends, taking her son to practices and matches, caring for their home and yard, reading, and crocheting; although she is currently learning how to quilt (courtesy of our awesome secretary Valeri) and knit.
