She made a career move to NYC and furthered her education degrees in finance and investments, until retirement as Senior Vice President of a Mutual Fund. She loved to entertain her visiting family in NY and was a great tour guide in the city of many highlights, including a dinner in the 1960s, when the famous Windows on the World restaurant opened at the top of the World Trade Center.
