One of her favorite places she lived was Lake Quinault, WA. Mom moved to East Wenatchee, WA when she was 8 years old. This is where she attended school until she got married in 1956. In 1964 Mom found herself single with 3 Daughters to support. Mom went to work in many restaurants and taverns, including Minn's Tavern for many years. In 1977 Mom moved her family to Ardenvoir, WA. Here she did various jobs after this, such as working security at the lumber mill, working at the Entiat Park, and many other things. She became involved in the local community hauling commodities and handing them out before the Food Banks existed. After an injury that left her unable to work, she continued to help her community at the Entiat Valley Service Club and continued serving when it became the Entiat Valley Community Services/Food Bank where she was on the Board of Directors and helped bring the medical/dental clinic to Entiat. In the mid-1990s Mom and Grant Roundy became inseparable! Grant was the love of her life, and she was his! From here on out wherever you found one of them you would find the other. Their door was always open at the Roundy's Spotted Owl Ranch to everyone. They were always willing to help anyone they could. They enjoyed cutting hay and driving all over in the Entiat Valley, which they both loved. They also looked forward to hosting the hunting camp every fall. When Mom's health declined the hard decision was made for Mom to move in with her daughter, Pam who could give her the care that she needed. Dad and Mom still were together several times a week until Dad Passed.
