In 1945, she lived for a short time in New York City while working for American Airlines. She returned home and earned her Teaching Certificate at St. Cloud Teacher College and taught in Fairfax, MN. She then joined the Rocky Mt. Teacher's Agency and applied for teaching positions on the West Coast.
In 1949, she moved to Astoria, OR and took a position teaching 7th grade Social Studies and PE. This is where she met Robert Copple and they married in 1951.
