The family always had a garden of vegetables and flowers along with a dog and several cats. The home also had a player piano in the front room and a cabinet of player rolls with the words. Daughter Bernice took piano lessons and could play quite well. The family would go on fishing trips with picnic lunches, fishing with cane poles, riding in their rowboat, playing in the water and then enjoying delicious fish dinners the next day. They also went picking blueberries, blackberries and raspberries during picking season. Mabel made pies, jams, jellies and canned the bluberries for desert during the winter.
In late Oct 1958 Mabel and her husband left Goodman to stay with their daughter Eleanor in Chicago until Mabel's husband passed away. She then sold their home in Goodman and moved with Eleanor to Detroit until she passed away in 1974.
