She also worked for the League City Chamber, Hilcorp Ventures, and was blessed to be able to work at the office of New Life Lutheran Church. She retired the end of 2014. During her life she got to travel some and mostly with her daughter, Melissa. Of course Nebraska to see all the Moravec’s, then Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee to visit the Browns.
