She worked at County Hall until she retired at 60. She was always very good at sport and played in the tennis team at Spencer until she took up golf when she retired. She became very good at golf and was Lady Captain in the 1980s. She led a full and active life and was a popular member of her tennis club and golf club with lots of friends.
