After graduation, she stayed in the DC area with a law firm for more than 40 years.  Her best time was opening their Brussels office where she lived for 3 years.  She took advantage of traveling all over as an expat and enjoyed food, fun, friends, and travel.  She was always good at languages and she learned French with ease and many accolades from the locals.

She has one son Bob, a daughter-in-law Elina, and two grandchildren.  She had a love for animals and volunteered with many non-profits.  Over the years, she had many dogs and cats of her own.  She passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 18, 2020.  She is now with her parents and the many loving animals she care for.
