In 1964 Kathleen and Glen, along with his partner, opened Glenwood Meat Packing in Roberts. She spent countless hours wrapping meat alongside Glen and supporting the business, while raising a house full of children. In 1978 they moved their business to Idaho Falls and renamed it Glenwood Smoked Products where Kathleen spent time wrapping meat, keeping the books, and helping to build it to what it is today. Kathleen had many other hobbies, besides her music and raising her family. She loved sewing and made most of her clothes as well as clothes for her children, and won many awards for her sewing. She also loved quilting and outside activities such as snowmobiling, boating, camping, and fishing. Kathleen loved to travel and traveled all over the United States as well as to Europe. They moved to Idaho Falls in 1983, where Kathleen continued leading the music and singing in the choir. In 1994 they were called to serve a full-time mission in Toronto, Canada.
