With the war over, she returned to Michigan to work in a Saginaw area Catholic Hospital. A blind date set her life in a different direction as she joined Kenneth Wolf, a career Air Force pilot. They traveled to Rapid City, South Dakota and she started her life as a wife and mother to 8 children. Following in the military tradition, the family transferred to various destinations around the United States including Hawaii.
