She collaborated on two high school textbooks and then decided to write something she enjoyed reading: mysteries.

She wrote a second non-fiction book, A Kid from Pittsburgh (2010) based on her husband's amazing true story as an American soldier in World War II.At the age of 79, she moved into a retirement community during March of 2020, only to find herself locked down due to the pandemic.
