Sipes Hospital in Everett for two years. After her marriage to Eugene, she was a “stay at home” Mom, raising her family first, and then when her children were well on there way, she began working with her husband at Morral Brothers in Everett, where she took care of daily secretarial duties and was company secretary after the company’s incorporation, having always served on the company board.
