She worked caring for her patients at Medical City Dallas, the burn unit at Parkland Hospital, as a Behavioral Health Nurse, & as a Home Hospice Nurse. She later cared for her 3 ^rd husband Darrell Shearer who preceded her in death. Her life was not without hardships, but she lived a good life centered by her love for family and Caring for others. The last several months of her life she battled cancer.
