One daughter and two sons were born during the next six years. Then in 1954 the family moved to Casper, WY. In 1957 the family moved to Boulder, Colorado while Don attended the University of Colorado-Boulder. Their second daughter was then born. The family then moved back to Casper. After Don retired the couple traveled, making a winter home in Lady Lake, FL for 14 years. After that they remained in Casper year round where "Mo" lived until January 11, 2012 when she moved to the Care Center in Torrington. The greatest joys in "Mo's" life were her family and her pets. She was especially proud of her growing family; welcoming each new spouse and each new child with such happiness. She loved being a homemaker and cooking for her family. For a few summers she was a wheat harvest cook and truck driver for harvest on her daughter and son-in-law's farm. She loved to work in her yard, feed the birds in the pine tree in the front yard, and go deer watching all around Casper. "Mo" was an active member of Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Casper and an Altar and Rosary Circle Member. She served as a past hospital volunteer. She and Don were members of the Casper Troopers Parent Group. Especially dear to her heart was the Casper Humane Society.
