She chose to spend her life taking care of her family. Her passions were card games and she loved playing bridge every week with her friends. She loved flowers and gardening, her spoon collection, sitting on the patio and any type of puzzle. Bunny was an avid sports fan. There was no talking to her when the Twins were on. All of this was done over a good cup of coffee. Bunny was always smiling and laughing. Some of her other highlights were Miss St. Cloud in 1947, Moose Lake women's bowling league, Brownie and Girl Scout Leader, member of American Legion Auxiliary and she served on the Holy Angels Catholic Church board and taught religious education classes.
