Dimple had many interests and hobbies and was involved in many organizations over the years. She was a member of Welcome Wagon, where she served as president for one year. Dimple became involved with the Accents of Sheboygan, where her love for the kids and the activity led her to serve as president and board member and to provide ten years of service in the parents’ organization.

In addition to her work, Dimple kept busy with church activities and loved music, playing bingo, league golf, traveling, and being with her children and grandchildren.
