She married William in 1950 and relocated to Chicago, Illinois. She lived there for 12 years and moved back to Lac du Flambeau in 1963. She raised her children until she started working with the tribe in various positions, Tribal Planner, Elder cook, and Bingo manager. She also served on the Tribal Council, Health board and Election board for the tribe. She was active in the politics for the good of the people and if there was a need, she was always willing to help get the job done. This work ethic lives on in her children.
