She was actively involved in the St. Joseph Cathedral Choir in Columbus, OH, as well as enjoying singing and dancing with Vaudvillities. Moving to Summerville, she and Len quickly made many friends, enjoyed attending the Summerville Orchestra and became involved with her church, St. John the Beloved Catholic Church.
