After her retirement, she worked part-time at the Big Thompson Credit Union.

She was baptized at First Baptist Church of Loveland in 1923 and later transferred to first Christian Church. She taught junior and adult classes and sang in the church choir. She was a member of the Sarah Group, attended the Christian Women's Fellowship and served as president and treasurer of CWF.

She was a member of the Royal Neighbor of America Camp 3919, serving as recorder and oracle. She also was a member of Grace Rebekah Lodge No. 48, where she served as noble grand, secretary and musician and was a past district president and assembly musician for Rebekah Assembly. She was a member of the Past Noble Grand Club and the Thompson Valley Art League.

From Arlene Miller's personal recollections:

From the time I can remember, Willetta lived on S. Fifth Street in Loveland. I remember being able to tell which house was hers by the really tall skinny trees that grew all around her lot (no one else had any so tall) - they were there for as long as I can remember. The very back of her yard was a vegetable garden and behind that was the "ditch", which seemed to be rather deeply dug to me to be a ditch - I thought it was a river, but she always called it a ditch. I believe she was right, in that it seems to have been an irrigation ditch, but while I was young no one explained that to me.  When I was young, the "ditch" was pretty much the southern end of Loveland and we could easily see her yard as we drove into town (from the south). There were two crabapple trees on either side of her porch steps, and a separate small entry room (the sun room) where she had a lot of plants.

She loved cats but they seemed to stay in their own private room. The room didn't really have any entries into the main house--to get in it you had to go outside. I didn't see the cats very often - they weren't allowed in the main house, and I didn't go in the cat room. I know she had several at a time, but I'm not even sure how many there were.

Willetta like to collect decorator plates - and had a whole wall of them in her kitchen. She also collected those colored glass things that were on telephone poles - she had quite a lot of those as well. She also had a hobby of melting old 78rpm records in her oven slightly so they they warped (I think she did this on paper plates), artfully arranging and attaching numerous weed and flower parts to them and spray painting them gold. She did quite a lot of those and they really looked very nice.

She played piano, and sang in her church choir, and seemed to enjoy traveling (though I can't remember where she went). She worked at the University in Greeley, but I don't recall what she did there. She seemed to be a refined Lady to me, very soft-spoken, gentle and kind. 

Willetta is buried in Lakeside Cemetery, Loveland, Larimer Co., CO next to her first husband.
