They returned to Jay to work at the newly built Androscoggin Mill settling on Macomber Hill where their two children Thomas and Anne-Marie were born.
She loved her home and family which was apparent as soon as you walked through the door. Because of job relocations she led a busy lifestyle establishing homes and adapting the family to a new environment at several locations. She was involved in the construction of 3 new homes and the rebuilding of two others. She had a talent for choosing the right fixtures decorations and colors. There was no job too big for her.

In later years she worked at several McDonalds in West Mobile and was well known by many as the McDonalds Lady in that part of town. The manager said she was the only person that he ever interviewed that asked all the questions.
