She continued to teach and was a dedicated and beloved elementary teacher, reading specialist and Junior High English teacher for Fresno Unified and Madera School Districts. Her talents were many. She found great joy in writing poetry, artistic painting, sewing, singing, dramatic reading and planning parties and events.
