She also was a housekeeper for many families in her early years. She was a hard working farm wife, raising ducks and geese and was an excellent baker of  kolaches, rye bread and rohliky.  She loved spending time with her son and granddaughter and going to thrift and Family Dollar Stores, looking for bargains.
