She was employed for 40 years at Wausau Insurance/Liberty Insurance until retirement and then enjoyed running a home daycare.

also enjoyed Game Shows, Hallmark Movies and an occasional trip to the casino. She is survived by her sister Caroline Dix, brother Fred Dix and sister Kay (Morris) Felver. She loved her nieces and nephews Amy (Chris) Knapp, Renée (Benjamin)
