Like most young people, she led a very busy social life.  She was a member of  a drill team that was headed by the Elks Club of Canton.  They were sought after all over the state of Ohio to march in their parades and compete afterward on the Drill Battle Fields.  They were always walking away or should I say marching away with the top prizes.  She was also in a girl   singing group that was very popular in the local areas.  They entertained in talent shows, teen dances, and at area schools.

She was employed at Diebold, Inc., Restore Historical Society, and was presently employed at Empowering People of Stark County.
