She was also employed at Regal Ware in Kewaskum for eight years and she had a spice business at the Princeton flea market for 15 years. Her many interests included travel, reading, cross stitch, genealogy, and gardening.

She is survived by her son, Richard (Gail) Sampson of Anchorage, Alaska, and her daughter, Gloria Sampson of Seattle, Washington; her grandchildren Brian Klinksiek of London, United Kingdom; Bobbi Sampson (Robinson Duffy) of Fairbanks, Alaska; Blythe Sampson and Rebecca Sampson (Chang-Chou Wang) of Anchorage, Alaska; her great grandchildren include Joshua Sampson, Molly and Ella Wang, and Arthur Duffy; her sister-in-law, Joyce Kindschuh of Oakfield, other relatives and friends.
