In 1959, Fern and Carl moved to Sand Springs, Oklahoma, before moving to the Cleveland Area in 1966. In 1982, Carl passed away. Fern worked in numerous cafes for numerous years in and around the Cleveland Area.

Fern enjoyed working. She felt that a person was obligated to work and provide for their family which she did for many years. Fern liked listening to gospel and country music while Bob Wills was her favorite musician other than her kids. She always enjoyed reminiscing about when her kids were growing up and during the time her and Carl was first married.
