She retired from the IRS in 2002 and moved to Florida shortly after the death of her husband of 45 years Haskell R Vest Sr. She loved to travel and was very bold in traveling alone to visit her family across the US. She was an avid dancer and met her wonderful dance partner Spurloc Blanc Sr in 2008 and they danced up a storm for nearly 10 years traveling around the world together until his death in 2018.
