After three years, they moved to Garber, OK, where Bob continued teaching at the local high school for five years. The young family moved to Enid, where Bob worked at Jensen's Music Store. Suzie started working as office manager at Maxwell Enterprises. She then worked for 19 years for the 45th Fires Brigade of the Oklahoma National Guard and retired in 2009, when she won the Adjutant General's Spirit Award from the guard's State Family Program.

She was a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church and its Altar Society and financial committee. She volunteered at Our Daily Bread.
