At an early age, she began employment at McGilliery's Drug Store as a cashier/host. As a result of her love for people, she changed her profession and became one of Baltimore's best-loved barmaids. During her professional career, she was adored and well loved by all who patronized her place of employment. In the years to follow she attempted on several occasions to retire, but she did not fully retire until 2005, due to physical restraints. She married Roosevelt Dukes, her long time love, friend and confidant in her later years. The time that they shared was full of life, joy and parties. She and her husband enjoyed and treasured the company of their family and friends.
