She went on to become a teacher in New Hampton, Iowa for a brief period before her and Jim married in 1957 and settled in Des Moines, Iowa. Their son, Paul was born in December of 1960. Nancy continued as a homemaker until the year 1980, when she enrolled in Des Moines Area Community College and achieved an AS in Computer Programming.
