There she worked in the Photo Department drawing and painting in the early Technicolor photographs. Later during World War II, she worked at Chance Voight. In 1947, she married Leonard Kerr. She became a great stay at home Mom for her two sons, always keeping the home clean (which was not easy) and cooking good, well balanced meals.
