Mary Jean spent many years working at First National Bank as a teller in Thermopolis. Still to this day people comment on how they would only go to her to make their deposit. Shortly after Jim's death, in 1973, she moved to Casper, WY to be near family. She continued her career as a teller at Hilltop National Bank for another 15 years. She always had a beautiful smile, witty personality and a kind word to everyone she crossed. She was an accomplished artist, whether painting in oil to painting animals on rocks.
