After graduation, I went to L.P.N. School and then worked in local hospitals. I lived in Tacoma, WA for a couple of years. I met my husband, Glen Cooper, while I was there. We were married February 5, 1966 in Duluth, where we raised 4 children (one of which was adopted). I have 9 grandchildren, two of which are under 6 months old. My husband Glen, passed away in March of 2010, we had been married for 44 years.

My children are:
- Lisa 42 - she has a daughter 20, and a son 5 months
- Irene 39 - she has a son 17
- Julie 36 - she has a son 2, a daughter 5 months and a step-daughter 18
- Anthony 34 - he has a son 11, a daughter 11 and a step-son 16

I played cribbage for many years, on many different teams, for a league here in Duluth. I won the Captain's Playoffs twice and many times was top player on my team. I received a plaque for a 29 hand, which is very hard to get.

I play pinochle with my Aunt and some girlfriends once a month.

I have 5 squirrels that I feed non-salted peanuts to, at least 3 times a day.

Every other Sunday, some of my children, grandchildren and family friends, gather at my house. We play cards, board games, chitchat and take turns making dinner for everyone.
