She eventually attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. She met her future husband in Chicago, and the two of them would move back to Shaker Heights after he returned from World War II. Once they moved back to Cleveland and her kids were in school, Mimi finished her degree at what was then Flora Stone Mather University in University Circle. Her and Her husband were tremendously involved in the Ludlow Neighborhood of Cleveland and Shaker Heights. She describes living there during a period of change and overhaul as the neighborhood was undergoing integration. She remembers being a part of the Ludlow Community Association during this pivotal time. She recalls her husband being elected president of the association, as well as her house being the hub for the meetings, which were held at 6am. Throughout this trying period, Mimi describes never being afraid of integrating nor those opposed to integrating. According to her, those who were opposed to integration simply left.
