She later retired from the Gaymont Nursing Home, in Norwalk, OH, where she had worked for many years. Over the years, Willie enjoyed following The Ohio State University Buckeyes football and the Cleveland Browns, but she especially loved watching the Cleveland Indians games as a true fan. She would watch every game from beginning to the end and then she would watch the whole game again later on Indians Replay.

She will be remembered by her family for her crocheting of afghans and laprobes, which she actually made well over 100 of them, that she would donate to the local nursing homes for the residents.
