Joann was a stay-at-home mom for many years until the children were older. At that time she went to work cleaning houses for many years in the Newcastle area. In 1975, Leslie and Joann moved to Hulett when he was transferred with the Wyoming Highway Dept. She continued to clean for a couple of places including the Devil’s Tower KOA. She was a bartender for a time and also worked for Sharon’s Home Health.
