She left this area to live her military life in 1946. She spent three and one-half years in Paris, France.

She was quite well known for her fried pies and molasses cookies. She was known by many who knew her (both old & young) as "Ms Jonnie" or "Aunt Jonnie." One of her more often repeated quote was "It's not where you came from, it's whom you've become."
