Following the end of WWII, Elizabeth and Richard moved to Toledo, Ohio, where they began their life together. They raised two children, Bill and Bonnie. During the 1950's, Elizabeth worked as an administrator at the Army depot. In the in1960's, Elizabeth worked at St. Charles Hospital. For many years, Elizabeth worked at Hunt-Wesson, in Human Resources and retired from there in 1980. Over the years, Elizabeth was a Girl Scout leader and in the later years, volunteered at the Rosson House and United Blood Services.
