When she had her break, she would make herself a chocolate covered ice cream cone, double dipping when she could get away with it. At 18 she began working at the Timex factory leaving there when her daughter was in elementary school. Later she began working at Total Fitness Health Club's nursery from there to the daycare of The Nazarene Church of Jacksonville, where she was also a member, retiring from there after its closing.
