She moved to Brazil at a young age and described her time growing up in a German town/community in South America and the blending of cultures, languages, food, and experiences she had. She moved from Brazil to the United States in 1964 while pregnant because her husband needed open heart surgery. She had her eldest child five days after arriving in the U.S. She discusses moving to the U.S., living with her husband, and taking care of her three children and raising them to appreciate their German heritage. She ran a daycare out of her house and loved cooking for the children. She also discusses her love of dancing.
