They sold the tilled farm land in 1979, bought a motor home and traveled the U.S. before selling the property with the house, buildings and farm machinery. They then moved to Jackson, WY in 1981 but spent their winters in Mesa AZ.

Eva worked for several years as a retail sales associate for the Ranch Shops, which was located on the Town Square.  She also volunteered at St John's Hospital and was awarded Volunteer of the Year in 2001.
