She was left to care for her six children after Henry died. After they reached adulthood, her mother, her sister Martha, and the twin sons of her brother Max, came from San Antonio to live with them.

She was a dedicated church worker, serving as president of the Lutheran “Frauen Verein” for many years. She also served as president of the La Grange Ladies Cemetery Association. During the time she cared for her mother she was able to partake more in her hobbies of crocheting and tatting. She also enjoyed flowers, loving to tell of the gardens she visited when she and sister Martha travelled to Seattle, Washington.
